Re: [Talk-ca] Sidewalks

[Harald Kliems]

Personally I don't map sidewalks like that but I respect local
mappers' work and would not change this, as it isn't really wrong. I
don't think there's a strong consensus to map sidewalks merely as
attributes of the adjoining road, and there are a lot of problems with
that approach, too. E.g. how to mapp accessibility features like curb
cuts or the need to chop ways into tiny segments in cases where
sidewalks appear and disappear.
Cheers,
 Harald.

Curious. I wonder if they were trying to get pedestrian routing working. 
Vaguely reminds me of something I read somewhere for streets maps for people 
who are blind. 

Why not ask the person who added them?

[Talk-ca] Sidewalks

I came across this when I was working on Map Roulette connectivity corrections -
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=42.98773840069771&lon=-81.24551922082901&zoom=18

I thought it was not advised to digitize sidewalks along urban streets - Are 
there any other opinions on this?

Re: [Talk-ca] Toronto OSM Hack Weekend

[Richard Weait]

Fellow Canadian OSM developers (and aspiring developers).

Add yourselves to the wiki and let us know that you are planning to attend
the Hack Weekend.  Hack Weekends have a wonderful history in OSM, having
lead to most of the major milestones in OSMs growth and development.
including internationalization, two on-line editors, API 0.5, API 0.6,
Relations, minutely updates, and on and on.

Granted, most of those developments were at Hack Weekends in London,
England, but we can join the fun as well.  Sign up now.  We'll see you in
Toronto.
