United States/Bicycle Networks/East Coast Greenway

The East Coast Greenway (ECG) is a 3,000-mile (4,800 km) bicycle route linking the major cities of the Atlantic coast of the United States[1]. The cycle route on OpenStreetMap consists of one super relation for the network, individual state routes, and complementary/supplemental routes. It is categorized as one of several "quasi-national" cycle routes in the USA.

Maintenance

After a validation completed in 2014-15 by User:stevea, in November 2021, user ElliottPlack continued the process of reviewing sections of the route for updated continuity, positional accuracy based on authoritative ECG data, and splitting up relations by state for easier maintenance. This work is continuous as bits of the relation are continuously modified. The "Relation OK as of Changeset" column lists the last edit where the relation was verified as having no splits using the JOSM relation tool and the Relation Analyzer tool.
