Do, but be careful - that's how I got started, and its addictive!

Which ones?

2017-01-09 Thread Wolves on Wheels Cycle Campaign 

Hi Folks,

Just to introduce myself, I'm Steve Young from Wolverhampton ( First 
message, very very recently joined this mailing list )


Have been involved from a cycle campaigning perspective re the 
Interchange project.


The Interchange will be changing pretty much constantly for the next 2 
years, especially when Midland Metro is also introduced to the site.
I note that OSM has the layout roughly as is, Google still showing the 
old entrance, will be checking Google maps every day now to see how long 
it takes them to update as a comparison!



Wolves on Wheels got a last-minute reprieve of using Railway Drive for 
cycle access ( also an increase in the 14 total railway station cycle 
parking spaces which were originally planned for the rebuild ).


At end of the pedestrian-only footbridge is shared use from Railway 
Drive down to Corn Hill on Footpath #43158983.


Hopefully in a month or so I'll be able to sort things like this out for 
myself and edit as appropriate ( Have also got a few contraflow cycle 
lanes to add ).


I've not made an edit yet, though hoping to make the next meeting in 
Birmingham.
If I could bring my laptop and arrive a little earlier with someone to 
"hold my hand" and answer some newbie questions, I'd find it useful.


I've spotted a few cycle stands which aren't mapped at the rail station 
so will try and add these beforehand so I'm not a complete novice!

Lesson 1 - Add my house number? ( Currently missing from map ;-)

I'm also on the Wolverhampton Council mailing list for road closures 
etc. so in a good position as an extra pair of eyes.


While I'm saying hello, I'd also like to thank you all for your hard work.
The quality of mapping for the West Midlands is impressive ( I know 
roads in Brum which are on OSM but not Google M :-)


Steve Young,
Wolverhampton.

A GPS trace is in the upload queue. I’ll try and get more details from my 
dashcam though it was fairly misty at 8am this morning.

from a routing point of view bicycles will need to push their bicycles across

I'll probably be in Wolverhampton at some point between now and new year, but

I walked past yesterday and uploaded some Mapillary images and made an estimate 
based on what I could see. There is also a good chance I’ll be in Wolverhampton 
on 8th, so will try and get a GPS trace of the bit that is currently fenced off 
(and if I can get the phone in the car taking Mapillary or whatever 
OpenStreetView is now called images, I’ll try that too).
