Hi, Bicycle Network Tasmania are trying to improve the quality of cycling infrastructure information in OSM. Much has been done by volunteers in various jurisdictions, and we have done lots locally, but the tagging is quite complex for cycle paths and not always correct. Local councils are responsible for much of the infrastructure, but they usually have little interaction with OSM. It would be most efficient if the councils GIS data worked in tandem with OSM data so that they kept each other up to date, each storing the info that is most useful for them. For instance, for bike parking, there is little utility in OSM storing the asset numbers and other info that the councils use to maintain their assets (although the ref tag could be used as a foreign key to help keep the two in sych). The Hobart councils we work with are concerned with the quality of the data in OSM and the ability of anyone to change it. Does anyone know of any examples we could learn from of local government itself working to keep OSM data up to date? Thanks.
