The Erie Canalway Trail is a historic corridor and a major cycling route that runs near the route of the Erie Canal from Buffalo to Albany. https://www.ptny.org/cycle-the-erie-canal is the web site describing it, and there's an interactive trail map at http://www.ptny.org/bike-canal/map/.
Alas, the map is not always correct, at least according to the current signage. I know this because the trail runs through my neighbourhood. I've noticed the signs but not yet attempted to add the route to the map. Is anyone interested in getting a route relation started with the correct route? I see in a number of other places in New York that the trail is indicated by the name of a way, but the ways are not linked into a coherent route. I'm not a cyclist, but I'll happily sign up to field-check the signage near me - I live only a city block or so from the marked trail. (Caveat: I may need someone else to make sense of what the trail map is trying to tell me for the stretch from Cohoes to Watervliet. It seems to be a bit of a maze there.) It could be that the route through my immediate neighbourhood is a detour to avoid a couple of very steep hills on the route on the web site. I can check in the next few days where the routes rejoin, and whether both are signed. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
