Chicago's pedway system on OSM is a bit wrong -- it's mostly disconnected from the rest of the map (check out KeepRight for a bunch of orange lightning bolts). This can cause problems for routers. Apparently, Toronto's system has the same issue.
(I should also note that Chicago doesn't have hour_on and hour_off, but that's a different issue). I would like to just connect the pedways to the streets that they intersect, but that's not physically accurate; in fact, they're through buildings (and often down stairs or elevators). Can anyone suggest a better way to map them so that they're accurate yet routable? I'm not local to Chicago, so it would be tough for me to go out and directly investigate myself. But I've CC'd a colleague who does live in Chicago and whom I might be able to pester to help out when he gets the free time. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
