I can’t figure out how to edit this on the map because apparently I’m not a high enough level or whatever to fix a problem without driving up to it. It’s stupid. Someone get your points from this:
Where County Road W6E runs into F16 (Ely Road to Hwy 382, map below), there’s construction going on. Here’s a link to the description page: http://www.johnson-county.com/dept_sec_roads.aspx?id=1467 Please change this so that Waze stops suggesting to people to take this way.
I’ll get to work on that closure. Do you happen to know what the duration is for it? I’ve seen what the start date was, but not the expected closure date.
If you are interested in map editing, myself and other would gladly work with you to ramp you up so as to maximize your edits. We all start from the same place, and you are correct there are some things that are locked up higher or some features such as setting closures that are restricted to editors with more experience. This isn’t intended to make the map impossible to work with, it’s intended to protect the map from the rare person that might attempt to make malicious changes.
I’m going to work this area in a couple of stages as it appears we’re missing a new street off Ely Rd that is going to be accessible for residents via 140th St.
We do have a Google Hangout for Iowa if you wish to relay information more quickly to local/regional editors.
Any other questions, or if you can find out what the anticipated duration of the closure will be, please shoot a reply. If you’d like to delve into editing so you can have access to things like the closure feature down the road, I’d be more than happy to work with you.
