Hello all,
I am new to mapping with OSM. I am interested in mapping the available bicycle infrastructure data in my area, San Diego. The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) provides line data for all existing bike lanes in topojson & geojson format. They map it on their website here. This data is very up to date and could help improve the map. I see for example that the entire road that starts on Upas St & 6th Ave and meanders thru Balboa Park is a shared bike lane/car road, but this isn’t marked in OSM.
The bike lane data distinguishes between shared bike lane/streets, bike lanes at the side of the road, protected bike lanes, and multi-use paths (i.e. at sidewalk/curb level). This would help align the data with the existing tags/classifications of bike lanes/roads that are in use in OSM.
As a newcomer to OSM it isn’t clear to me how to upload this data in a way consistent with OSM’s guidelines, and am requesting assistance on this import from an experienced member or pointers to a good guide on how to do this.
Note, I have experience working with large volumes of vector/raster data in both QGIS & Python/R and imagine some adjustments into the jsons will be necessary. For example converting the classification used by SANDAG into the tags used by OSM, and would be happy to do this with some guidance on what should be done.
Thank you
