OpenStreetMap
Just added a handful of missing footpaths in Cambridge (Fulbourn Rd - flowers estate, Wycliffe Rd - Seymour St and Harvey Goodwin Ave - French's Rd).
Also added the "cycleway: opposite" tag to Kingston Street. It's not strictly a one way street any more, just no entry for motor vehicles at one end. There's no
signed cycle contraflow, but cycling is implicitly permitted. As far as I can tell, the recommended way to indicate this is to leave in the "oneway" tag and use "cycleway: opposite".

Nice work fluffhouse (I like your user name, by the way!).
It's good to see some more mapping in Cambridge going on! Cambridge has some of the best OSM coverage there is and it's getting even better. Local details like you added are incredibly easy to miss when the basic streets are already mapped, so I congratulate you on finding and fixing these details!
If you're mapping around Cambridge and would like some company, please let me know. Myself and a friend have regular (often several times a week) cycling / walking expeditions into the Cambridgeshire countryside in order to map footways, bridleways, etc.
I've also been mapping bus stops within and around Cambridge, pedestrian crossings, telephone boxes - most of these features aren't yet covered since (aside from the bus stops) they don't appear on the map. Hopefully they will do at some point, so they're useful information to collect. There's lots still to do here...
We're starting to make a list of further tasks (beyond the streetmapping done so far) at the bottom of the wiki page for Cambridge: osm.wiki/index.php/Cambridge
Have fun mapping!
Cheers,
Mark
