Made additions and corrections to map data in OpenStreetMap in the New Lambton area

A suggestion would be to take Portland place which is a quiet street and using this to connect to Curzon Road. A paved path can be placed where the green mark is (currently gravel surface). Curzon road is a narrow road which would benefit from being made into a quiet way. Some ideas are making it a 40kmph zone, with raised entry thresholds, and painted bicycle logos. You can cross to the hospital at the traffic lights in red. However, this would benefit from being a bicycle signalized crossing.

In the vicinity of Alma Rd and the New Lambton urban centre, there is a definite challenge in how to make the quietways have good continuity from one area to another.

Lambton Lane is a good quietway from the northwest, but terminates at Alma Rd with only footpath access on either side. Regent St to the left is for more confident riders because it does have more vehicle traffic, and similarly Lambton Rd to the righthand side of this image also experiences more traffic volume.

We are interested to hear your ideas and suggestions for this one, particularly if you are a local.
