[Talk-us] Caliparks re-tagging paths?

[Mikel Maron]

I've reached out directly and began conversations with Dan after reading this article. Good to hear from Alan too.
My view on the way forward in this particular situation.
* Decide on reasonable tagging. Agree that some use of "access" seems most appropriate (maybe access=social?)* Get Caliparks rendering recognizing this tagging* Make the switch on OSM from social_path* Discuss how to better represent these on main OSM rendering, and other rendering. They should be rendered, but look different from official trails.
Beyond this, there's a huge opportunity and lots of interesting issues regarding mapping in parks. Imagine a single map of every park in the US, or in the world. There's a lot to get into about how park managers and the public see parks, park data and park maps. Think OSM is the best place to do it!

I oppose the use of highway=social_path. There are better ways to
accomplish the same thing without breaking existing applications.
