Google Maps

Two days ago I received notice of the correction to Google Maps resulting from my first report a problem submission, made a week-and-a-half prior. What was the problem I reported? The missing bike lane on N 59th Ave through Thunderbird Park. Google Maps was missing the designation for bike lanes even though to anyone who has ridden that stretch of road, or, say, has run on foot inside the bike lane as a part of a local informal race, it's clear that bike lanes are indeed there.

Seeing the report a problem feature of Google Maps work inspired me to report seven more problems later that day, all related to missing designations for bike infrastructure:

• Missing bike lanes on E Doubletree Ranch Rd east of N Scottsdale Rd
• Missing bike lanes on W Cheryl Dr near N 35th Ave
• Missing bike route on N 18th St north of E Camelback Rd
• Missing bike lanes on N 25th Ave north of W Dunlap Ave
• Missing bike lanes on E Via de Ventura near N Pima Rd
• Missing bike lanes on N 7th St near the 101

We'll see how those submissions fare. If they get accepted then maybe I'll try to get more of the missing 18th St route included. It's an ugly route, but those green Bike Route signs are already paid for—may as well add the full route to the database.
