I answered that I'd remove the way, but in alternative he could retag it to removed:aerialway=cable_car and cancel the misleading disused attribute.

If the proposal was from between 1960 and 1969, within 25 years would have been no later than the end of 1994, possibly as early as 1985 Every few year local government releases new plans - so in 1994 it was planned to start around 2020. Currently there are plans to start construction in 2030 (there is even preliminary project, but nobody has idea how to fund tunnel that even before cost overruns costs more that entire yearly budget of the city). have a fair amount of proposed roads in my area too, but the freeways which were proposed decades ago and not only were never built, but almost certainly never will be, never were added to OSM. Just a simple mapper believing that the projects are still serious is enough to map roads that are de facto fictional.

If people want to tag easter eggs or errors from other maps in the OSM db they should use a distinct tag for it. Only it was simpler with only one tag to remove a feature from a ground survey but without first-hand knowledge of the full history or if it is mentioned still in other sources (imagery, pictures, cadastre, ...). If something is mapped on OSM, but you are sure that it doesn't exist... Do you know for sure if it doesn't exist *anymore* or if it *never* existed in the first place?

Re: [Tagging] Lifecycle concepts, REMOVED
Several freeways that were designed by the Army Corps of Engineers in the Baghdad, IQ area got tagged similarly to that (highway=unbuilt or similar). No idea if they were later built by some authority. Also didn't know if it was inside knowledge by a returning soldier past the end of whatever applicable NDA was in play or someone pulled a big-ass FOIA request and found 'em. Or if Sam Baldock (the same one for which segments of Iraq Highway 1 (prior to and once again after Hussein's rule) and a long section of Interstate 5 in Oregon were named after; he was a prolific civil engineer in both regions) had designed 'em and they were never built after the 1968 Ba'ath Revolution. Normally not a fan of source tags on anything smaller than a whole changeset, but in this case, it would save a whole lot of research trying to find where a strange but plausible edit came from.
