"loc_name"="Sauron Tower" 🤔

Hello, you added this pole as an "amenity=shower" node/10735242598#map=19/40.70644/-73.94790

Is this actually a shower with hot water or is it more of a misting pole (amenity=mist_spraying_cooler)?

It is visible in the mapillary imagery here https://www.mapillary.com/app/?lat=40.7063924&lng=-73.9478912&z=17&pKey=133510786510100&focus=photo&x=0.10227209762070083&y=0.5721130596596734&zoom=0.6063295158359651

I think you may have mislabeled the building type on way/276259881 it looks like it's a recreation center part of the state park https://parks.ny.gov/parks/robertoclemente/details.aspx

The signs (second location node/7006950444) in front both say "Co" but I guess that may be just to save space and the logo design. I could move "Co" to alt_name for search to pick it up.

They have a big sign that they support the counter-campaign for the street redesign. There's a lot of drama in the neighborhood around it. Weird because a bar with an outdoor patio would probably get more business if it was nicer to bike/walk to...

I am wrong about the curbs and dual carriageways, it could have been mapped like node/9197760562.

Yeah, splitting carriageways can be messy especially when there are many "hidden" turn restrictions in NYC.

The only way to capture the type of curbs on each side of the island is to split the road carriageway around it.

The carriageways could continue split though instead of merging back together before the intersections.

Why does this section not meet the criteria for highway=busway? It is a designated bus route protected from other lanes of traffic.

It may be a short segment, but that doesn't change what it is.

Hey, I believe these are not uncontrolled crosswalks due to the presence of traffic signals, they could be tagged as crossing=traffic_signal

crossing=traffic_signals

Hopefully iD will be updated soon to reflect this as "Marked Crossing" now defaults to adding "crossing=uncontrolled"

https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema/issues/658#issuecomment-1333944173

iD updated a couple days ago to set "crossing=uncontrolled" when "Marked Crosswalk" preset is selected. I opened an issue to change that to "cross:markings=yes" instead. https://github.com/openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema/issues/658

Also I didn't realize this was your 3000th changeset! Congratulations!

Hello, I noticed you recently updated this crosswalk to include `crossing=uncontrolled;marked`
node/5344875893

Marking information has been moved to a newly adopted `crossing:markings=*` tag in order to separate control information and marking information.

crossing:markings=*

Hello,

These retail areas are quite inconsistent, for example the area around: changeset/128995293#map=18/40.58706/-73.96013

NYC has highly mixed land use, it may be better to derive your dataset using something like POI presence vs "empty" (no-poi) apartment/house buildings. Or using NYC's government provided zoning/land use https://zola.planning.nyc.gov/about/

Otherwise we're looking at hundreds/thousands of polygons covering individual blocks, which after mapped may or may not be maintained.

This is different than say a suburban context where you may have a shopping mall area that is clearly defined.

To add onto what jmapb's point, the local community usually discusses large changes on the talk-newyork mailing list. That being said many of us are in #local-nyc in the OSM-US Slack if it is more convenient to have initial discussions there.

Yeah I go back and forth on it, technically this calms traffic and is also used by pedestrians.

landuse=traffic has been abandoned.

crossing:island=yes seems to be for nodes.

area:highway=traffic_island is another option.

I'm not sure it really matters to tag an island as whether or not pedestrians are allowed on it, that should be indicated by a footway going over it.

quick stats (NYS):
area:highway=traffic_island (19)
traffic_calming=island (344)
traffic_calming=painted (1)
traffic_calming=yes (7)
landuse=traffic_island (10)

landuse=traffic_island

osm.wiki/Proposed_features/Street_area#traffic_island

Anyway, happy to change this to `area:highway=traffic_island` if you think that makes more sense.

Hello,

Thanks for mapping all these sidewalks! Please consider adding "barrier=curb" to curb nodes at the end of crosswalks, it helps when someone is nearby with StreetComplete and can fill in the type of curb later.

Hello,

I noticed you've tagged these ways as foot=no, another option could be foot=use_sidepath. I am not local anymore and am not sure the current status of these roads.

foot=use_sidepath

Hello, I think you included a stray test feature in this changeset - node/10140027295

I think this building may have more than one name, both https://magnolia-dumbo.com/ and https://frontandyork.com/ refer to it.

Hello, this race track is only built for the race weekend and dismantled afterwards. I'm not sure it belongs in OpenStreetMap as it's not guaranteed to be there next year.

Thank you for contributing to OSM! If you are actually NYC Parks it's great to see the department join the OSM initiative. If you'd like to reach out to local mappers there is a mailing list - https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us-newyork

as well as a Slack channel - https://slack.openstreetmap.us/!

It looks like you're missing the `building=` tag on the updated feature. way/278325868

`building=civic` may be appropriate here, building=civic

There was also already a node for this facility, node/2020487653

You may want to move the relevant tags from that node to the building and delete it. I would also add `swimming_pool=yes` to the new building feature.

Happy mapping!
