"Rondje Eindhoven" trail marker falsely removed

[GeneralSecura]

This wayspot was just removed. The Rondje Eindhoven trail marker is very much eligible and many of these have been restored on appeal as can be seen in these topics:

Appeal for restoration of all the removed trail markers in my area

Now that the Wayfarer criteria have been updated and trail markers are explicitly eligible again (Trails & Markers), I would like for all the countless trail markers that have been removed in my area to be restored. I created a thread about it (So are trail markers eligible again or not?) from which I concluded from my conversation with @NianticAaron that all of these types of trail markers are eligible. I have also already appealed a few of them in the Wayfarer contributions page and all of the…

My trail marker submissions are being unjustly removed again

Let me take you back to just over a month ago, when I made this topic. I wanted countless trail markers of five different varieties restored. @NianticAaron in this reply said that they restored the markers that are part of a named trail. Out of the five different kinds of trail markers I brought up in that topic, they restored two. All of these: [Wandelrouteknooppunt] And all of these: [Rondje Eindhoven] Clearly this is an obvious sign that these two types of trail markers are considered …

Yet again, my eligible trail marker wayspot has been removed

Wayspot Title: Rondje Eindhoven & Fietsroute 01 Location (lat/long): 51.471809,5.451392 City: Eindhoven Country: Netherlands [Screenshot_20240816_222238_Discord] So here we are, yet again. Once again, someone has reported one of my completely eligible trail marker wayspots and Niantic has removed it. The exact same kind of trail marker that has been restored by @NianticAaron MULTIPLE TIMES now, as can be seen in the following topics: I really can’t fathom why these malicious removal re…

So I expect this one to be restored as well. Yes, it also contains one of the hated cycling route network signs, but that didn’t stop the wayspot in this topic from being restored either.

Street view at this location shows that the Rondje marker is gone.

It can’t be eligible if it doesn’t exist.

Agreed! We standby our decision to retire the Wayspot for these exact same reasons. Thanks,

SV data is from august 2023. The bike route is still active and documented on Bordjes Rondje Eindhoven - fietsroute

@GeneralSecura If the sign has returned since 2023, take a geo-tagged picture and show it in a new appeal. If the sign is still gone (the white one above it won’t do anymore) you could try to get the city to replace it, because this is an essential marker to direct bikers to head northeast towards the park. Without it they will miss the trail entirely and head into the city instead, so maybe the municipality will be forthcoming to your request:

(screenshot shows the documented route and the turn northeast where the sign should be)

I think this is the only way to get the Wayspot back, as it requires the real-world object.

At VVV Eindhoven (at central station) you might ask, or through thisiseindhoven.com, or both

There is a service for reporting damaged, vandalised or missing signs you can use to get this sign restored: https://www.meldpuntroutes.nl/. They are part of the Dutch platforms for recreational hiking and cycling and will handle the request for you.

I successfully used this service to have them restore vandalised trail markers. It only took a couple of weeks.
