Meta asking about pedestrian mapping in UK

We received an email from the open mapping team in Meta for guidance ahead of proposed pedestrian mapping projects in London and Manchester. Gareth replied with some guidance, overviewing some of the previous concerns from the community and ways forward that might best address these.

Projects

This is garnering less interest compared to previous quarterly projects so far.

QP4

We need to think ahead for QP4 already.

Reports from events

OSM UK chat

The August event had poor turnout. This might have been due to lack of detailed agenda, time of the year or promotion. September will try to address this.

Future Events

OSM UK Chat

September event is on osmcal and we discussed putting together a specific agenda, potentially on pedestrian mapping and routing engines.

AOB

The property boundaries tile server needs updating. CJ will write some documentation on how to do this and will try to spin up an additional server with the new data. There was some discussion on exploring whether further processing of the data would be beneficial, to show where plots have been subdivided or combined in different colours.
