Hi, first time asking for help with this. The contractor delivered capetown_waterways.geojson but some features are unusable for our mapping pipeline. Drop any features that cannot represent a valid, usable waterway (a feature needs both a drawable geometry and a proper type to be useful) and keep the rest. I'd also like a top-level dropped_count so I can show my supervisor what we're flagging back at the contractor. Filename waterways_clean.geojson, please. The output should contain only LineString features, each preserving all original columns, with feature_id as the key field. The FeatureCollection must include a top-level dropped_count foreign member (an integer) reporting how many features were removed.
