The DfT have just published a contract out for the collection and management of cycle data for St Leonards on Sea
"Lot 1. Cycle data collection. Undertaking cycle surveys to extend the Ordnance Survey Integrated Transport Network to include information about existing cycling infrastructure and where cycling is permitted and recommended. Cycle data will be provided in accordance to CycleNetXChange specification (http://www.cyclenetxchange.org.uk/). "Lot 2 - Cycle data management. Managing the central database including coordinating data collection, journey planner publishing, data maintenance and quality assurance activities and managing local authorities and data suppliers. These activities are supported through the online data management tools provided by Transport Direct. http://www.publictenders.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=84033 Should we give the place a review and ensure it is top notch for cycling before the contact is awarded. The roads for the place seems to be complete, however there is a distinct lack of footpaths and cyclepaths in the town which seems unlikely. There is also a lack of paths through parks and there are no cycle lanes/tracks on roads according to OpenCycleMap. It might also need work on turn restrictions. The users retselkim, timsc, fyremoon and the_winch seems to be reasonably active in the area. It is too far for me to go but might be a good venue for a mapping party this summer - south coast, sun, sea, ice cream etc ;) Regards, Peter _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
