Hello.
What are the features that you mapped here? Name says benches but you tagged them as historic monument?

Hello.
When mapping crosswalks, crossing=marked is intended for the ones with a STOP sign.
While crosswalks with traffic lights should be mapped as crossing=traffic_signals

"Sidewalk" generally refers to...sidewalk :) ie pedestrian path that runs along a street/road. If that street gets blocked from traffic and becomes an open street or a pedestrian street then it should be tagged as "Pedestrian street". :)
I updated it as such

128741012

Looking at nyc's official road width records, Middeltown Road between HR and I95 varies between 42 and 48ft.
And between I95 and Stadium Ave, it varies between 32 and 35ft depending on which block.

128741012

But that's not the shortest path :)

128741012

Hmm. For way/5698108 I just measured 34-35ft here's a screenshot

Are you measuring at 90' perpendicular to the road?

Hello.
Is it not a pedestrian street now?

Hello.
Rather than deleting old building feature and creating a new construction one, it's better to edit old one with the new data. That way you are preserving history of that object if at some point in the future there's a need to refer to that.

Hello.
Please note that for the width= tag (and some other tags) if the units of measure is not specified, it is assumed meters. Also it is a measure of the whole road width, curb to curb. 16 meters is ~52feet. And looking at the satellite imagery this road doesn't appear to be 52feet wide nor 16feet wide.

You can see more documentation of this tag at width=*

Hello.
It would be greatly beneficial if you know and could add address, phone and biz hours of this place.

Hello.
As documented in osm.wiki/Names#Names_are_not_for_descriptions name tags should not be used as description. Is this POI actually named "Fruit Stand" or is this just a name you came up with?
Also looking at the satellite imagery this doesn't appear to be a supermarket. It seems to be just a few temporary popup tents. Perhaps a more appropriate tag would be shop=farm(https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dfarm) or shop=greengrocer (shop=greengrocer)

Hello.
When mapping pools please pay attention not to accidentally glue pool to nearby buildings, unless they are actually attached to each other.👍

Did they expand this to 2 car lanes and still kept the bike lane?

128537040

By all the available imagery I was referring to the ones in iD. If you open Background Settings panel, shortcut key "B", you can change to different satellite images taken by different companies at various times. There are also a few different maps you can switch to for reference as well.

Please note that you can NOT use Google Maps to add data to OSM under any circumstances. That is considered copyright violation. Please see osm.wiki/FAQ#Why_don't_you_just_use_Google_Maps/whoever_for_your_data?

Looking at the available street side imagery from 8/3/2022 it still shows just a single car lane on this loop.
DOT's plan for the roadwork of this area also doesn't show any changes to this loop https://www1.nyc.gov/html/dot/downloads/pdf/beach-108th-st-jan2019.pdf
Strange🤔

128461333

Yup, I updated the outline of some nearby buildings that were just barely overlapping this one.

128589527

Unfortunately iD and RapiD also still don't know about it and when you perform extract poi from building it grabs that tag too ☹️

128537545

It's a bit awkward, but if you go into Map Data side panel (shortcut U), and enable measurement panel(shortcut ctrl-shift-M), it'll show you various measurements of selected OSM object. Then you can draw a temporary line and it'll tell you its length. Simply press ESC to abort drawing that line.

Hello.
I don't think this is a correct way to tag area of this street. If you look at the resulting map, there are now 3 different ways with the same name..
Also if you take a look at area:highway=*, there are different tags and they signify different features.

If you want to indicate street's dimensions, I think it's better to use width= tag as documented in width=*#Width_of_streets

If you use StreetComplete app, it has builtin AR mode to easily measure street widths to derive that data.

If there are navigation problems, it's probably easier to fix those problems in other ways than with that relation, which I'm not even sure routers use.

As for associating sidewalks in this relation, I don't think that's an approved way of tagging. At least I haven't seen done it that way.
And before you start doing that, I'd suggest this be discussed with other nyc mappers so that we have a useful and consistent way of mapping, rather than free-for-all per neighborhood.
