Footways in Orloff Park, Pleasanton, CA, USA
Апублікавана карыстальнікам simonboots 15 Сакавік 2014 на мове EnglishMy wife and I moved to this area a few months ago. We usually walk our dog through the nice Orloff Park and I noticed that none of the footways are in OSM. Time to find the dusty GPS and update OSM! Quite a few features in the park (basketball courts, playgrounds and lots of picknick benches) are still missing in OSM. I’ll try to add these over the next weeks.

Yes, I find that mapping for OSM is such a fabulous way to get to know a new neighborhood and a really good excuse to get out and meet more of your local neighbors.
Hope the new place works out well for you!

Footways? Or paths? If it’s really narrow, like, two bikes can’t pass head on without someone pulling over, footway=yes is definitely appropriate (if bikes are allowed, bicycle=yes is appropriate). Are bicycles allowed? Is it wide enough for two bikes to pass head on without slowing? Then highway=path is a better fit. Are pedestrians banned or is there a painted centerline? Then highway=cycleway (and possibly foot=yes) is appropriate.
