This is great Seth! We've been about this as well as we are very focused on helping agencies both utilize OSM and other non-agency datasets to improve their own data as well as improve the data that shows up on third party sites/apps and OSM. It would be ideal to also include OpenTrails as a part of the solution.
Look forward to seeing this come together and help out!
then plug those layers into id -- to trace and etc. surface into id with Slide integration, so you can snap to it -- or just copy the alignment from one to the other.
OpenStreetMap is a fantastic repository of facts on the ground.
However, sometimes those facts on the ground (social trails) don't match a park manager's intentions.
We intend to create a proposal that allows social trails to be tagged in such a way that they can be filtered by those who wish to respect agencies' wishes while retaining them in the data, both to prevent them from being re-added (without appropriate tagging) and to accurately represent conditions on the ground (knowledge which can potentially help mitigation of their impacts).
We would also like to build a tool that allows the data available for a given area to be visually compared to GIS data provided by a park agency, facilitating tagging improvements and improved coverage. We could incorporate Strava's Slide tool in order to improve trail alignments using the "field observations" of many unwitting athletes.
