[OSM-talk] Bounty for mapping Mottram and Tintwistle areas! (west of Machester on edge of peak district near Glossop)

[Peter Miller]

Back in January I asked
<http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2008-January/022343.html>  if
there was anyone who could map the Mottram area for a bounty where there is
a controversial road being proposed. I am pleased to say that RichardB took
up the challenge and that the area has now well and truly mapped
<http://openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.467&lon=-1.9876&zoom=14&layers=B0FT> !

 

For your interest the public inquiry which was due to restart this week
(Easter 2008) has now been delayed again until October to allow the Highways
Agency more time to getting it traffic forecasts to work in the way they
want to.

 

This job does raise an important question about how to map and model
proposed roads. We have used the tags 'highway=trunk' and 'tunnel=yes' and
name='Mottram . bypass (proposed)', 'proposed=trunk' and added a note. It
would be better not to have to use the tunnel tag to get it to render
properly (especially as part of the road is indeed in a proposed tunnel
which we can't represent!). Btw, the Glossop Spur didn't render properly
this week under mapnik and I think (hope) it was because I used
'tunnel=true' not 'tunnel=yes'. I have changed the tags for the Glossop Spur
so that they are now identical to that for the main bypass and should render
properly next week.
