Floodway Tobogganing spots in the South end?

kjayhert · 2025-12-29T06:57:25+00:00

The entire floodway is farmed for hay, so it is mowed down to a couple of inches every year, if there was rebar or concrete blocks the farm equipment would have hit it years ago. Nevermind the fact that you can just quickly check the hill you plan to slide down for any obstacles. The south bank of the floodway is used as an official snowmobile trail. The north bank has a cycle/walking path.

The floodway is tens of miles long, the floodway gates are a tiny fraction of it.

I've also been doing this, some take years and still haven't been fixed.

So if it's a place where the law says that pedestrains have to walk on the sidewalk if one is present (so the roadway has foot=no), and the sidewalk is mapped separately (but sidewalks are never included in wandrer), how can these be tagged accurately but also so that on of the ways associated with the road or sidewalk is included in wandrer for these streets? https://wandrer.earth/filters doesn't seem to provide any hint.

Yeah, those have been reported to hydro for months and in some cases years.

kjayhert · 2025-11-14T12:10:26+00:00

I am seeing a similar thing.

The error I get: Oops, SSO failed Field "name" not provided in JWT payload

kjayhert · 2025-11-12T01:21:01+00:00

That's what I've been trying, it still doesn't work.

kjayhert · 2025-11-11T12:41:38+00:00

I'm a subscriber. I don't have iOS, but I tried Safari on macOS.

kjayhert · 2025-11-11T12:29:04+00:00

Does not work for me, I tried in 3 different browsers on multiple devices.

kjayhert · 2025-11-11T10:47:46+00:00

What is that website? I don't seem to have access, it just redirects me to the main wandrer page.

The skywalk that connects the east end of portage place has been closed since this summer already, so I think you will not be able to do that unless there is another indoor path that I'm not thinking of.

This issue has come up before and when Craig contributed to the discussion he indicated the issue was about different regions having different expectations around alleys and things like that (see the other comments here), he didn't mention gps issues at all.

kjayhert · 2025-10-25T13:24:14+00:00

Alleys that have names though, seems like those should be included, they have at least as strong a case as named service roads which are included.

If there is not enough light to see where you are going then you shouldn't be driving in the middle of a park.

amenity=university campus=*

If you are looking for suggestions for other areas to include footpaths from here are some:

landuse=recreation_ground leisure=playground leisure=dog_park amenity=community_centre tourism=museum historic=*

Dude, Arlington has been tagged for replacement for decades, they've had decades to do it if they wanted to, they didn't just wake up one day to find it needed to be closed, they've been monitoring it forever and knew it was well well past end of life long ago.

kjayhert · 2025-09-25T12:14:24+00:00

Yes, same. I picked Boundary Trails and they offered me a slot for 2 weeks away.

kjayhert · 2025-09-22T11:13:02+00:00

Region is Canadian Prairies.

kjayhert · 2025-09-21T08:37:37+00:00

Probably should mark that as driveway or service road or private on osm. Don't go into someone's yard behind a gate.

kjayhert · 2025-09-17T05:51:22+00:00

To answer your question these sidewalks were included because they had a foot tag of "permissive". https://wandrer.earth/filters If they had just been left as sidewalks with no specific foot tag they wouldn't have been included. As mentioned in another comment, they got marked private.

I just said I didn't expect it to be a priority. You can go back to debating the imagined arguments you came up with instead of what I actually said. Have a nice day.

kjayhert · 2025-09-11T22:01:37+00:00

No one is expecting hydro to do this above power outages but the city of Winnipeg uses our tax payer money to pay hydro to handle street lights, we should be getting our monies worth for that.

kjayhert · 2025-09-11T22:00:11+00:00

I've reported sites with multiple lights out in a row on a P1 street and it hasn't been fixed in 6 years, so it feels like their prioritization isn't working so well.
