More comments (sorry!):

barrier=wall looks odd on way/377918799/history . Underground structures aren't usually mapped as walls. Maybe the train box could be represented with some kind of building:part=* or indoor=* tag? I'm not sure about this one.

For node/2616701810/history I don't think Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh are the same thing. You sure about this one?

Hi, a couple of things:

Did node/2335908268/history get turned into a Crate & Barrel?

What's up with node/6582417968/history ? Did the name really get changed?

The operator for node/5870674310/history should probably be the Transbay Joint Powers Authority? The SFMTA doesn't operate the bus deck.

"San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District" is the correct name for the BART district.

node/9979293770 doesn't actually exist. Yerba Buena Lane intersects with Market Street, but because the streetcar tracks are in the center of Market Street, and the street is
much wider than the tracks, Yerba Buena never actually interacts with the tracks and there is no rail
crossing. Everyone either turns left or right at Market. Because the map is a simplified diagram of what really exists and streets are represented by single lines you sometimes get weird artifacts like that.

Hi, relation/13997987/history looks more like a motel than a hotel?

Hi, please check for the presence of landuse=construction areas before adding what appear to be missing streets.

Also, take a look at the ESRI World Imagery and Maxar Premium Imagery layers, which are currently slightly more up to date than Bing in the Bay Area. They show the parking lots closed with construction barriers and equipment. There is a transit village being built.

Hi. What is maxspeed_explicit? And why did you delete the maxspeed keys?

Hi, I noticed that you added a couple of screen captures from Google Maps in the image=* field in this changeset and in changeset/12252748

Are you aware that we cannot use google maps as a source as it would be a copyright violation (and against google's license terms)? Even if you aren't using it as a source, linking to a screen capture seems potentially problematic.

Please see osm.wiki/FAQ#Why_don%27t_you_just_use_Google_Maps/whoever_for_your_data?

Hi, please don't delete the service=driveway tag from driveways. Thank you.

Hi, please don't delete the service=parking_aisle tag from parking aisles. Thank you.

Yea, that was part of the original pre-covid public parklet program so I don't think they're supposed to serve customers directly there. The idea was that people would get pizza to-go and be able to sit outside. It doesn't get much use and I've only seen people out there around lunch time.

Why did you change outdoor_seating=parklet to outdoor_seating=no? Zachary's has had a parklet for years and it's still there.

Hi,

I agree that the source should go on the changeset and not the object. Every time someone edits something the source potentially changes/expands. 99.99% of the time I don't add a source tag to objects I edit.

In this case, I didn't change the name at all, just added a source for a specific value of a specific tag that already existed.

I've seen too many times where someone verified a name and added a source tag or similar ( verified:name=yes has been used occasionally around here as well) and later someone else changed the name to something else while leaving the old tagging, making it difficult or impossible to tell what the actual name should be. Sometimes there are conflicting sources. There should be a stable way to tag the source of a specific name. If you know of a better way to do it please let me know.

There's been a pattern in the past of people adding made-up names to paths/roads on the UC campus (probably copied from google maps, which is used as the background for the default map on the university's website). It's useful to know which names have actually been verified and exist in the real world.

Hi, welcome to OSM. I'm the person who originally mapped the sidewalks on Shattuck and Adeline.

Please don't do this.

The access tags generally apply to the entire street, not just the vehicle lanes in the roadway. The vast majority of sidewalks in Berkeley have been mapped as an attribute of the way (using the sidewalk=both/left/right/no tag). When you tag a street with foot=no it means that pedestrians are completely banned from the street, including walking down the sidewalk, or along the edge of the road, or to a parked car. I don't think that's what you meant to do here.

The access tags are mainly about the legal access more so than whether it's a good idea or comfortable. I looked it up and the actual legal situation is...complicated, but it's not actually illegal to walk along the roadway on most ordinary city streets in Berkeley (including north and south Shattuck).

The foot=yes tags along the portions of Shattuck and Adeline where the sidewalks are mapped as separate ways were left over from before the sidewalks were mapped separately, and should probably be removed (but not necessarily changed foot=no). Those ways are tagged with sidewalk=separate which should tell routing software not to use them for pedestrian routing.

Hi, I don't believe these are accessible to the public; according to the bside article linked this is inside a private home. Nothing is visible from the street.

Pauline Kael obviously doesn't live here anymore; do you know if there's anything outside identifying this house as the "Pauline Kael Residence"? (a sign or a plaque for example?) Also, the start_date tag on the house is obviously wrong - nobody was building houses like this in the 1950s.

Hi,

Please don't add nonsense to OSM. This is a map of the real world used by tons of people. I have reverted your changeset.

Thank you.

Are you sure about this? The city website ( https://www.cityofsanmateo.org/3334/Bay-Meadows-Community-Park ) specifically describes this park as having a "walking path" and mentions nothing about bikes, and these don't really look like bike paths at all.

This edit doesn't make much sense to me. Even if there are no explicit signs, anyone wanting to turn left from Oberlin would have to drive the wrong way down the northbound lane of Arlington then make a sharp s-turn in the crosswalk to cut over to the southbound lane where the median disappears.

Hi, welcome to OSM. I'm not sure what you were trying to do here, but the boundaries of San Francisco have already been mapped and are very close to being accurate.

Hi jmilot,

This was discussed briefly here: osm.wiki/Talk:Key:access#Access_only_for_ticketed_passengers.3F and here: https://old.reddit.com/r/openstreetmap/comments/pg4mxq/need_help_fixing_san_francisco_map/

access=customers has all of the same problems as access=permit in this situation. Any software that respects the access=customers tag will have issues routing across areas tagged with access=customers if the origin or destination is not nearby or linked in some way. This edit was not specifically for OpenTripPlanner - the access tagging was causing problems in every router I tried.

I personally don't feel like either customers or permit accurately reflects the real-world situation here and would rather just remove them (leaving bicycle=dismount) but didn't want to step on any toes.

In reality the access depends a lot on the day-to-day operations of the individual ferry operators; usually the gates are unlocked, sometimes they're only opened close to boarding; sometimes there are people checking tickets/clipper cards at the entrance, or only when passengers off-board, or not at all. Sometimes people line up on the dock itself long before boarding.

Is Michelin rating small bends in rural road now? Roadkill? Something went wrong here.

It looks like a cricket pitch.
