[Talk-us] United States Bicycle Route System ballot(s) pending AASHTO approval

[Kerry Irons]

Correction.  USBR 1 in Washington DC is a new route.  Only 7.5 miles long, but on the other side of the river from USBR 50.

Subject: United States Bicycle Route System ballot(s) pending AASHTO approval

There are at least four new national bicycle routes "pending" in the USBRS!  (Ballots by state Departments of Transportation before AASHTO's Autumn 2020 round):

USBR 11 in West Virginia (done in OSM),
USBR 30 in North Dakota (done in OSM),
USBR 50 in Washington, District of Columbia (a realignment only, done in OSM) and USBR 201 in Maryland.

To help OSM "get ahead of the curve" of the Autumn 2020 AASHTO ballot, the USBR 201 application by Maryland DOT is available, allowing OSM to enter these state-at-a-time national bicycle route data.  This route has been "seeded" as a route relation and still needs to be fully entered into OSM.  Please visit our wiki https://wiki.osm.org/wiki/United_States_Bicycle_Route_System#Proposed_USBRs_in_OSM for a link to the route data ballot for USBR 201 in Maryland.  OSM-US has explicit permission from AASHTO to enter these data from these ballots.

Thank you for helping to build Earth's largest official cycling route network:  check out our wiki, follow the links to the turn-by-turn and map data and have fun making bicycle route data in OSM more complete and better!
