Make a stop anchor default for all routes

Open gbragaalves opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Sometimes, due to the geometry of streets and stops, we may have some stops that are closer to another road than the intended one. In the example below, the stop represented by the red dot is served by routes passing along the orange line, although the blue line is closer to it.

In these cases, we have two options: we can either move the stop to a location closer to the intended road, or we can reassign the route by moving the stop anchor to the proper way. However, when there are multiple routes serving the same stop, this process can be overwhelming and time-consuming.

Is it possible to move the stop anchor and have it as the default point of reference for all routes using the same stop? If not, is there any possibility of implementing this new feature?

@philip-cline have you taken a look at this? I think this has to be 2 stops right?

The issue is one we've experienced before. I agree it would be great to be able to make an update to a stop anchor for all patterns that use that stop. However, this is a larger feature than it may seem since that requires cascading updates to all patterns that are involved. We can certainly add this to our backlog, but we also welcome requests if you have an idea of how it could be resolved
