  UKGov Working with theDfT through their data contractor to get the data into OpenStreetMap (funded project) DfT have been very receptive to the open data potential We are working to ensure that CycleStreets is the solution of choice We think cycle journey planning is more effective when done by local people using Open Data

  Getting it intoOSM  OSM community rightly very wary of automated imports  Duplicates existing data  Can’t be sure it reflects on-the-ground  If you want to read more about why automated imports are bad, see the TIGER data fixup project: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/TIGER_fixup
• 19.
  DfT doing itthe right way  Releasing as Open Government License  NOT just dumping it in data.gov.uk and hope someone uses it  Getting the geometries in sync  Converting the attributes to OSM tags  Fixing up data problems upstream  Funding tool work  Adds functionality to existing OSM toolset  Tool development will help other projects  CycleStreets the go-between (with funding)
