I hadn't got a lot of time to work on that issue.
Yes, exactly the same sort of issue. In the case of the service road I saw, I suspect the issue is the city doesn't want to be bothered removing snow from the road during winter, and during spring the Humber river can more-or-less be counted on to flood the road. Both are good reasons to keep motorised vehicles off what is a very modest paved service road for a number of months each year. So, what can I do to help advance the cause of getting a seasonal tag (be the season "winter" or "dry season") into OSM?
