Well, when I did my original edit in that area because of the collapse, somebody had already deleted the small section that collapsed. So, I just added the missing access=no tags on the other ways. Plus, it didn't hurt that I was on my PC already and watching the local 11PM (EDT) news and they mentioned that there was a bridge collapse on an Interstate. -James (rickmastfan67) From: cliff...@snowandsnow.us Date: Mon, 27 May 2013 16:36:44 -0700 CC: t...@openstreetmap.org; talk-us@openstreetmap.org Subject: Re: [Talk-us] Google Maps being praised for removing I-5 colasped bridge quickly Let's forget about Google Maps for a moment that give thanks to the contributors who updated I-5 on OpenStreetMap.

How can we get more effective press coverage from events? Part of it is probably more people volunteering for the communications working group, but is there more? Note: If you want to help with the CWG, email communicat...@osmfoundation.org.
