Why are there so many duplicate trails for Allaire in TF

I tried to make the Wharton TF lists legit... but gave up. Settling for only labeling them with their proper names. Sort of. You're left dealing with random trail segments that others have shared on TF. Not the best way to document trails.

@Bleeder can give you delete permissions for a short term.
it is bad practice in a crowd sourced system.

you can also edit trails, and TF will ask if you want to merge them.
Play with it - when it is right, it is good.
Sourlands is on-point right now.

as an aside, Tom mentioned that the state is moving towards segmented trails.
meaning every segment is documented - segment being any intersection to intersection.
i don't agree - intersections have a main trail, and intersecting trail (either T or X) - which i'd rather see,
and TF handles well. This also works with the standard markings, and blazing.

Allaire will end up with a 1000 trails if each intersection is a new trail!

I agree - trails have beginnings and ends, where they meet or cross are intersections.
going any finer would be a segment of a trail.
linking segments together are routes.

Wait @Patrick why don’t we close all the trails in the park that have duplicate names? We can deadwood them and put signs up that they are closed. This way the app will be clean and more user friendly.
