Wanted to let you know that marking driveways as "access=private" is breaking routing. I've fixed the drives leading to Home Depot, but do not have time to fix others.

I learned about the problem from a friend who's car in full-self driving mode was taking weird paths to get there.

Is this concrete pathway (which is currently closed for construction) really part of the Lansing River Trail Relation?

No problem. We are all in this together.

Have a look at the Michigan wiki, where we have listed common tagging schemes.

Also, take a look at the Events section. We are meeting at the centers of the Michigan tomorrow.
osm.wiki/Michigan

As the crosswalks are tagged as highway=footway, they will also need
the access tag bicycle=yes, to route from road to the concrete path we call a sidewalk in Michigan.

I changed it to shop=piercing, now there are 101. Best to shoot for accuracy than to tag for the renderer. Another option would be shop=jewelry.

I just drove through that area and the Grand Trunk Western railway is long gone, where the goal of OpenStreetMap to accurately represent current ground truth.

I think a more appropriate place for this edit would be the Open Historical Map.

From the areal imagery, that railway looks long gone in most areas, where the goal of OpenStreetMap to accurately represent the current ground truth.

Most of those houses are better classified as building=detached .

Buildings rarely have names without a purpose/use. Be sure to also tag its use.

building=*

leisure=golf_course

You have put a building inside of a building. This will need to be corrected. If you need help, please reach out for it. osm.wiki/Michigan

I see you have been doing this in multiple locations. And in this particular location, there is already a node for the MSU Dairy Store. Was there a reason for this, like maybe it isn't showing in a particular view you are seeing?

Thank you for your recent addition of footways in the Lansing area. In this area, I had to remove some crosswalks that did not exist, connect some ways such that they would properly route, remove the footway=sidewalk tag where the path was separate from the roadway and add bridge tags where the footway went over the river, trail and tracks.

Have a look at the Michigan wiki about Sidewalks and Footways.

Also, at the top of the page, you will see an invitation to join Michigan's monthly meet-up.

Thank you for adding sidewalks. Before you get to far. You may want to take a look at the Michigan wiki on the matter.

You beat me to it. Nice work. =)

Nice work. Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Not knowing OpenStreetMap had become widely known/used in our area, would you mind my asking what brought you to add this business to OpenStreetMap?

Thank you for doing this. We were just talking about this problem at last month's meetup.
osm.wiki/Michigan#OpenStreetMap_Michigan_Meetup

If you are interested in mapping paddlecraft features, we should talk. Also, I have been adding notes on how best to tag them to the Michigan Wiki page.

Perfect. Just wanted to make sure.

I see a lot of new and one-time mappers adding/changing creative names, unaware of best practices.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. =)

Take a look at the Michigan Wiki page, we have started to informally meet each month.

Take a look at the Michigan Wiki page and the OSM page on sidewalks, before adding to many "sidewalks". A sidewalk in British parlance is walkway along the edge of a motor way. Michigan has very few of those, usually only in downtown areas. Michigan also allows bicycles on cement paths through people's yards, that we call sidewalks.

Welcome to OpenStreetMapping!
Is this the name on the sign or building that someone would see from the road? Otherwise, the use of tags like old_name or alt_name might be appropriate.
