The Needful

The NYC map looks great, but a closer examination reveals a lot of problems. One way streets are almost non existent, and this is a requirement for any kind of driving directions to be created based on map data. See below for some needed cleanup.

Issue	% Done	Notes
One way Streets	10%	We need to add the oneway=yes tag to all one way streets. Note if the arrows in a street are pointing the wrong way, you can either add oneway=-1 or you can actually reverse the arrows in JOSM under the Tools menu then add oneway=yes. Below Houston Street is all checked.
Subways	5%	Add a node where a station is. Then add two tags: railway=station name=[Station] for example name=Nostrand Avenue. Also add the appropriate relation (in Potlatch, click on the 'chain' button above the plus sign). See also New York City Subway.
Streets with painted bike lanes	15%	Perhaps we can get this data from the NYC DOT. Otherwise, add a new tag cycleway=lane. View [1] to see the results, updated only Thursdays I think.
Greenways and Footways	50%	Mark greenways, footways and pedestrian only places (ie Times Sq!) highway=pedestrian for streets closed to traffic creating a pedestrian mall highway=footway for pedestrian paths highway=cycleway for bike only paths
Manhattan Bridge	100%	Should be complete
Street classification	20%	fix street tags, most of which are classified 'highway=residental' which does not distinguish between different types of streets. Local truck routes have been marked as secondary or higher (except in Staten Island)
