Re: [talk-au] Pedestrian/bike access near Wiley Park

[Andrew Harvey]

There are two main ways to tag footpaths (sidewalks) as you've pointed out,
and documented at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Sidewalks#How_to_map.
Both are valid and there's no consensus. These two approaches can
co-existing and an area can be mapped with both if you like.

Personally I map as a separate way as it allows you to map crossings,
lowered curbs, footpath surface, footpath width with the benefit of having
better accuracy (good for local council doing asset management or augmented
reality).

It would be wrong to delete someone else's work mapping them with either
approach.

Thanks Simon!

Do you (LWG) get many such requests for further info? Is it something that
could / should be amended in the basic "We are OSM, could we please get
access to your data" letter?

Thanks

[talk-au] Pedestrian/bike access near Wiley Park

[Adam Roberts]

Hey folks,
I'm experiencing some routing difficulties for ped/bike near the Wiley Park
station, and looking for some tagging and digitizing advice.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/-33.92297/151.06717=C

Specifically, there are sidewalks present on both sides of King Georges
Road, south of The Boulevarde, but none to the north, nor on The Boulevarde
itself. Options would be to add sidewalk tags to the roads, or to digitize
sidewalks (and therefore crosswalks) to all other roads. What would the
preferred path be? Sidewalk tags seems the most straightforward, as I won't
need to connect each sidewalk via crosswalks, but that would likely involve
removing the mapped sidewalks south of The Boulevarde, and replacing as
tags. Would that be ok? Is there a precedent for the fact that the
sidewalks are separated from the road by a grass strip?

Thanks for the feedback,
Adam Roberts

Re: [talk-au] City of Gold Coast / repeat requests of CC BY waivers

[Andrew Harvey]

Thanks Simon! I understand all agencies need to do their own due diligence
in determining if they can agree to the waiver or not, but as you've seen
at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Data_Catalogue there are
a number of other agencies in Australia who have agreed.

Yes, I've received some follow up questions that I'm in the process of
answering now.
