Hello, do you have any sources for Deer Run being alternatively known as Jordan Run? Is this a widespread nickname or something a small group refers to the feature as? Without any sources it's hard to make the claim for osm.wiki/Verifiability

Also you can use "alt_name=" or "loc_name=" tags for alternative names (if they are in wide or historical usage) rather than the description tag.

alt_name=*
osm.wiki/Names#Local_names_(loc_name)

Hello, please note that the name of this parking garage is actually "MPG" (short for Manhattan Parking Garage) and is not a ref code.

node/3134691332

Hello, unless the bench is known as "Bench" you don't need to tag "name=Bench"

The name key is used for the name of the feature as it is called, for example a bench could be called John Memorial's Bench.

name=*

Please tag land cover (natural=wood) separately than park boundaries. The parks are not 100% covered with forest.

This import was discussed on the #local-nyc channel in the OSMUS slack.

Please do not tag disconnected paths that are not verified and likely do not exist such as this one way/1347819210#map=19/42.089406/-74.070359

Did I leave a duplicate node or self-crossing line? Still getting used to importing a feature via JOSM.

I'm not sure these should be mapped without verifying their existence, it's too easy to see an artifact in those models that isn't there in reality.

I don't see this one on either of those two layers way/1330758261

Paths that aren't there can be dangerous to lost hikers and SAR trying to orient themselves in the back country.

Did you intend to make these disconnected informal paths? What is your source for them?

Hello, thanks for contributing to the #nycwalkabout project. Crosswalks like this one that are signal controlled should be tagged as crossing=traffic_signals (crossing=traffic_signals), crossing:markings=zebra. This is the "signalized crossing" preset in Rapid, or updating the "crossing type" drop down.

crossing=marked are crosswalks controlled by stop signs or otherwise (crossing=marked)

Hello, thank you for contributing to OpenStreetMap.

Can you confirm this staircase exists where you added it in this changeset? It's not visible in the Mapillary imagery https://www.mapillary.com/app/?lat=40.7205336&lng=-73.9522394&z=19.9&pKey=171801329284130&x=0.669409251244299&y=0.5979492501481367&zoom=0&focus=photo

Same comment as last changeset, I think this one also mistakenly has fee=yes.

Hello, thanks for contributing to OpenStreetMap!

I think you may have mislabeled this bike rack with "fee=yes". Can you confirm if this bike rack has a charge?

The "crossing" tag should also be "traffic_signals", "crossing=traffic_signals"

Hello, thanks for contributing to #nycwalkabout. The crossing:signals=no tag on this feature is incorrect, that crosswalk is controlled by a traffic signal.

way/1207898717#map=19/40.67322/-73.86946

Thanks for contributing to #nycwalkabout.

The crossing:markings value on way/1265586893#map=19/40.63476/-73.90988 should be "zebra" instead of "ladder".

See crossing:markings=* for examples.

I was just in the area and can confirm that the pools are still there, they are just empty for the season.

I updated the area to parking=street_side & the way to parking:left=separate.

I would be fine removing the area and tagging the road with parking:left=street_side. I'm not familiar with which is more common.

crossing:island (https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1Ggf) is more typically the tag used on the crossing way or node (though I see it is used a lot on areas as well in the taginfo stats...)

The areas are more commonly tagged as traffic_calming=island (https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1Gga)

area:highway=traffic_island osm.wiki/Proposal:Street_area#traffic_island is also used a few spots... (https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1Ggi)
