[Talk-us] Removing US Bicycle Route tags

[stevea]

To breathe a little fresh air into this discussion (and perhaps pour 
a little oil on troubled waters):  I have enjoyed in the last few 
hours some email exchanges with both Kerry and Paul.

In short, Kerry and I are discussing how it is inappropriate for OCM 
to display a USBR as a proposed ncn when the ACA is still in the 
"corridor only" phase, and no SPECIFIC route exists.  I think she and 
I agree there.  In some of those cases, there is an existing STATE 
(rcn) route (which MAY become a USBR/ncn) and so it seems the correct 
response is to change those from ncn/proposed to rcn/actual.  If/as 
the state adopts the state route as a specific USBR, (initially as 
proposed, perhaps paralleling the existing rcn, perhaps not), it can 
then be promoted, or another relation in OSM can capture this for 
display in OCM.

Does this make everybody happy?  Consensus is important, even critical, in OSM.
