Ed, hi

Thanks. For info, Essex County Council have told me that they “...can confirm 
that the NAR3 is still being worked on and is planned to be open before the P&R 
is open”. As you are aware, the P&R service is due to start 13th April, a week 
on Monday.

Given the short time before it is opening, does anyone object that I have 
marked the road as a standard tertiary highway? I need it to be available for 
routing in our system, as the P&R bus does NOT go along Boxted Road, but 
equally I don’t want to inconvenience anyone else by having “wrong” data in OSM.

Regards,
Stuart

Hi,

Are there any mappers in Colchester who could survey the new Northern Approach 
Road phase 3 to the east and south of the old Severalls Hospital? The proposed 
alignment is shown on OSM, but Google has it differently at the western end, 
and also shows a set of roads south of Colchester Rugby Club (NW of Mill Road, 
opposite Brinkley Grove Road) that are not on OSM.

Essex County Council need me to route a bus along it, so a) I understand from 
them that it is open and no longer under construction and will annotate OSM 
accordingly, and b) I am going to go with the alignment shown for the time 
being as it seems to align to a route map that I have been sent.

But clearly surveyed data would be better if we can get it, please!

Regards,
Stuart
