[OSM-talk-ie] Esri World Imagery on OpenStreetMap

[Colm Moore]

Hi,


It seems Esri World Imagery is available on OpenStreetMap. I don't know the 
extent.


Some of it may be related to the DigitalGlobe imagery.

Esri is unrelated to The Economic and Social Research Institute.

I'm very much aware of the sad state of affairs. Took me six months to get
signage on one sign changed earlier this year (and I strongly suspect it
only happened because I pestered the council enough). :/

The best action you can take is to get involved with the local campaigns
(Dublin Cycling Campaign is very active) and submit observations to public
consultations / planning requests either directly or through the campaigns.
Patience is slowly wearing out with many of the campaign groups due to the
tiny amounts of money being invested to get results like you mention.
Direct action groups like "I bike Dublin" are having an impact with getting
the message across in a meaningful way. I've also been trying to educate
cycling policy makers and planners to take advantage of data sets such as
Strava's metro heatmaps which show where cyclists are frequenting (and
avoiding). It's very slow. :(

I'm hoping openstreetmap will be useful in gathering data that can
highlight the sorry state of things (e.g. our longest continuous
non-yielding cycle track is 1km; we have XXX km of shared bus/cycle lanes
and XX km of dedicated cycle tracks). I'm a very strong believer that
people armed with data are a force to be reckoned with.

If we get a good enough data set that would surely be an option (and
certainly partly what motivates me)... Getting an accurate dataset (e.g.
schedule of cycle facilities similar to what exists for roads) would be a
good start...

Are you going to have a tag for badly designed cycle tracks, and another
for dangerous/very poor state of repair cycle tracks?

[OSM-talk-ie] Cycling infrastructure in Ireland

[Donal Hunt]

Hi all!

I've created a new page (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ireland/Cycling)
to track efforts around cycling infrastructure in Ireland. I intend to
focus energy on documenting relevant information / project status around
various cycle infrastructure mapping efforts.

I intend to try and promote data gathering with the local cycling
campaigns, Cycling Ireland (for club cyclists) and Fáilte Ireland for
tourism purposes.

Contributions welcome! Will share updates if anything positive comes of it.

Donal
