Hello there,
In 1980 the Luxembourg Ministry of Tourism published a booklet with 100+ nationwide walks. Many of these had their routings changed over the years, and when this happened every effort was made to remove any evidence of a blue/white pointer along the old tracks and paths. However, a few escaped the attention of the organisers but these are often difficult to detect as nature has been claiming ground.
Originally, the ones plotted by a small group of us were all scattered in woods and forests where paths have vanished (eg Fingig). However, the Bertrange ones are now on a path that is again clearly visible and regularly used. I visited it a few weeks ago and noticed that one of the FB trees has fallen and will probably be removed.
So in short, it is an attempt to catalogue where man once trod but nature has taken over.
Interested to hear about your idea of tagging older trees!
Best wishes,
Dan

I have recently noticed that MPs are being treated differently. It used to be simple with Potlash, ie outer and inner, but now I read that these are not recognised with ID. I am at a loss which is correct. Mkgmap recognises the old way, but again with ID I cannot understand the logic of how MPs are being created. What you observe is not what I created but somehow is what ID is creating. There is an obvious conflict although the rendering is the same.

the machinery is parked just off the Route de Burange, so looks like they will start making an access from there first.

Moreno,
Actually the plot has been sold and it is now in the hands of ARCHEO Constructeurs. I checked a few mins ago and digging machinery is in place to start.
Dan

Actually the MP tag was wrongly associated with these changes. It was ment for 9444754 as a number of polygons within this MP needed inner definitions since they were not showing correctly. A bit of work but worth it

Hi Moreno, yes I was surprised also to find out! I suppose time will tell when construction will start. The Lenkeschlei school construction I plotted in Dudelange last year has no bulldozers doing anything there yet ;)

I suppose the virtual OSM tag is to compensate for those that sadly use polygons to plot lines ;)

I am still horrified at the way Place Guillaume II and Place d'Armes have been tagged, causing steps to lead to nowhere and having a circular track you can't get to.

I would say a problem of a lot of inconsiderate tagging !

Actually it will, if you use the following code in your lines stylesheet: ("0x12" is a Garmin routable and needs to be defined transparent in your typfile; 1A can be defined whatever, in my case I have it as black dots)

code:

highway=virtual [0x12 road_class=1 road_speed=1 resolution 24 continue ]
highway=virtual [0x1A resolution 24 ]

Guillaume, I investigated the area today and replotted the old by-pass as it is now. The reason being that there is unrestricted access coming from the landfill. A lot of the by-pass has already had its concrete removed. The construction to the East looks like a massive underground water complex presumably linking up with the Gander. This will need to be revisited in three months or so.
Brgds,
Dan

Hi Guillaume,
Yes it was opened Friday afternoon and I visited it yesterday morning after the Gasperich trip. The construction that remains is the service road for the farmer. This in theory should connect further East with the area around N49 30.108 E6 08.725 where there is currently a fence. I have seen them work there but will investigate it further.
Cheers
Dan

You are correct. I saw that the notices say that the basin d'orage should be completed by "September 2016!" Maybe they should change it to 2018. The deviation for the PC2 is however clearly marked

Ofcourse ment NW corner ;)

Ive plotted it how it is now, and suspect wef September the NE corner will all be construction

Hi Guillaume,
Yes I noticed that, and although I am very careful not to upset any existing relations, this one had no option until the "owner" resolves it. I have been conservative in the various map changes here, and over the weeks it will become more clear what can be taken as passée and deleted.
Take care, Dan

Its a start ;) Noticed you had plotted the police station as "local knowledge" (do hope you kept to the speed limits), but they have moved to rue de Dudelange. Could not see who was now in that building,
Dan

Many thanks for taking care of all the relations.
Difficult to judge if these roads have a historic value, but as I have not seen any plans what will happen to these after the tramcomplex has been built, it might be worth keeping them for a while. The new road looks very temporary, so there are bound to be more changes next year

dismantled is another tag that could be used. There is so much construction going on that very little is left. The point is that there are relations still attached to them which someone needs to update, so at the mom these nodes can not be deleted.

OK tks

Hi Guillaume,
I did a lot of plotting this morning (despite the fog), and there are some major changes in the area. Used a camera in my car to help with clues for the tunnel, and just as well as the GPS lost signal for a while. My track can be seen on OSM.

1) there is a completely new temporary feed off the motorway to the Kirchberg P&R (which has been made smaller). At certain stages it has three lanes (for bus and turns) but have not bothered with these.
2) The motorway link into the Serra tunnel starts at Rue J Hackin, but oddly enough has no signs that it leads to the A4 to Luxembourg. Also the old busroute & cycleparth paralel stop at the entrance of the Paribas carpark and is broken up from there on.
3) The Tunnel entrance is at the end of new new Paribas construction, then makes a fairly sharp R turn and snakes L & R to where it ends and joins the feed from the Serra rondpoint. That exit point seems to have already been correctly plotted (possibly yourself?)
4) I have plotted building=construction for the new Paribas but it is a fixme as did not work out its actual dimensions.

So, hopefully it will encourage others to tweek all those major changes.
Cheers,
Dan

Hi Gerard,
I was there on Monday, but it was not open yet and could not get very close. However newspaper photo suggest that the road goes parallel until the tunnel starts. Not as shown. I will investigate this on Sunday
