Changeset When Comment

It is officially not permitted to ride a bike on the sidewalk. You must dismount whenever you use the sidewalk with a bicycle in Quebec. However, it is usually accepted for young children. Using bicycle=no helps routing engines not sending cyclists on the sidewalk except when dismounting, which is slower, so is only use for small sections when alternative is not possible.

I fixed the missing private tags on some of the pools. I think you just forgot to add it to some of the pools. It is now complete. By the way, I am not mr. Chair Mobility, I work as a research associate for the Chaire Mobilité, which is a transportation research laboratory in Polytechnique Montreal. :-)

OpenStreetMap data is often parsed by automated tools for data analysis. You cannot assume that a human will be verifiying each and every one of the tags and its value. For instance if I want to estimate the average distance from every home to the nearest publically accessible pool, I would get way to many short distances in this case, because private pools must have the tag access=private and right now in your edits they do not.

You said that you added the private tag but I think you forgot to save the changeset because most of your added pools are still missing the access tag. I will fix it for you, but please take the time to read the official openstreetmap wiki before doing edits, so it can be valuable to the community. Thanks for your understanding.

It does not seem to be added. You need to add the this tag:
"access=private"
to each of the pools.

The name Complexe sportifClaude-Robillard is already set on the area. Please check to avoid duplicate naming. The name must be at a single place only.

Cycleway was already mapped as a lane. If there is no physical separation between road and cycle path, please use the cycleway:lane tags instead. Has a separation been built recently? Flex posts and bollards are not considered permanent separation like a fence or concrete.

Please be careful, you seem to have added some non existing traffic lights (example at the intersection of Avenue Grey and de Maisonneuve), at least there was none in late 2022. Also, please check how to map precise traffic lights with directions when sidewalks are present (place the traffic light at stopping line).

I lloked at the munich airport and separated the aprons like they did there. Thanks for the suggestion!

128483303

it was mapped like this before. I just realigned the apron alongside grass. It would be possible to separate it from the taxiway, but there is no clear delimitation on the ground for such separation.

1) There are official geodesic points all over the Province of Quebec, precise to the cm. This data has been used to calculate the shift of Bing Maps in the Montreal region, which is indeed 0.6,-1.54. See https://geodesie.portailcartographique.gouv.qc.ca/ for the complete list. Any precise alignment in osm should be discussed before doing it if the person editing does not have access to official positioning data. All our positioning is based on the official geodesic data and should not be moved. Also, there is no such thing as distinct alignment of buildings and alignment of ground objects. Buildings must always be aligned on the ground, so everything is aligned on the same ground base.
2) I do not care how parkings are mapped, as separate polygons or one huge polygon, because most of the time, we add the capacity to it, but at least it must be connected to a street or service road otherwise routing engines cannot know where is the entry point of the parking. Having multiple connection is fine, but having none is problematic.

Thanks for your understanding and thanks for editing OSM!

Also, parking lots should be connected to roads at at least one location, but usually at each possible entries. You don't need to change what was done here. Parking lots can be joined to parking aisles and service roads.

134393069

Thanks for the update.
However, please make sure to connect access aisles to roads and use this offset for Bing imagery in the Montreal region: 0.6,-1.54
Use the "Adjust Imagery Offset" tab in the Background right menu to add it.
I fixed the alignment and added the missing connections.

Thanks!

Please set the pools as private (access=private) to be sure nobody counts them as accessible public pools. Thanks!

CHSLD Saint-Joseph-de-la-Providence is already mapped. You only edited a pedestrian crossing. Not sure what you were trying to edit.

And do not add personal data (like your own home)

Please do not vandalize data on OpenStreetMap. Only add verified and validated data.

133947858

OpenStreetMap is not a playground. Please do not add fictious data. OpenStreetMap is for real verified data.

Nice jobs around Vaudreuil Thanks! I added addresses to your new added houses in the North on Chemin de l'Anse.

Official name of the park is Notre-Dame-de-Grâce. There is no such thing as Girouard Park there. Be careful when taking names from Google or external source. They may be erroneous.
