A discussion has arisen regarding the proper tagging of this bicycle route. I thought it would be interesting to get some input from the community. The East Coast Greenway is a bike route that has been developed by the private nonprofit East Coast Greenway Alliance. The Greenway is a developing network that runs the entire east coast of the US.
The question is what network level should it, if at all, be tagged. Currently, there are three network levels, local/regional/national that have been used. In other countries, these apply to different levels of government that officially sanction the cycle route. In the US there are several bicycle routes that are sanctioned by AASHTO. In contrast, an analagous tag for hiking networks applies these levels simply according to the spatial extent of the hiking trail and optionally adds a operator tag for the organization that plans and maintains the trail. Any preference in the community for how one should tag privately sanctioned bicycle routes of large extent?
