[Talk-us] Prospect Mountain Interchange Reconfiguration, Binghamton NY

[Andy Townsend]

Hello,

The Data Working Group has recently received an email from someone at 
dot.ny.gov, saying that there's a general problem with satnav directions 
following changes to this interchange:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/42.11451/-75.90885

Essentially, it's in the process of being changed and there will be 
temporary reconfigurations during construction until the final layout is 
achieved.  Also, what's currently in OSM (which seems to be mostly a few 
years old) isn't up to date.  I've explained that OSM is created by 
volunteers and linked to https://www.openstreetmap.org/about etc. to 
provide a bit more background.

What they've asked for is a contact within OSM who they can work with to 
ensure that the data is updated to be correct as of now, and changed as 
and when future changes occur.

Obviously it makes sense for the person doing this to be at least on the 
same continent, so I'm asking for a volunteer here.  Email me via 
ajt1047 at gmail.com and I'll pass the details on.  Also, if anyone can 
think of anyone who might want to do it and might not be reading 
talk-us, please pass the message on to them too.

Best Regards,

Andy Townsend, on behalf of OSM's Data Working Group.
