OpenStreetMap
Sandy Blvd. should not be a designated bicycle route
Posted by Craig Collins on 26 March 2012 in English.Taking a look at the OSM local/regional bike route designations, it’s clear that some work needs to be done to improve the pdx bike path system on OSM. First indication is that Sandy Blvd. is marked as a designated cycle route when it is really marked as a “High Traffic Through Street” on our Metro map.
Plan to make corrections and improvements over the coming weeks.

I’m not seeing it… I see bicycle=yes (which is correct) and RLIS tags indicating Metro has it as a caution_area. Outer Sandy, east of 205, shows a proposed US NCN route, which is also approximately correct, though it may ultimately take another course through Portland. I’m not showing any segment of Sandy as being designated, though I’m just glancing through right now.

Also, it should be noted that TriMet’s interns and I have been working pretty hard on getting this right, so please throw something up on the tagging or talk-us lists if you have some specific concerns; I think the folks at TriMet are still working on getting their info vetted and added right now.
