Imagery has not caught up with this yet, so trust me that this is a dirt lot. A bowling alley and a tanning place were torn out. Here's proof of asbestos demolition: https://web.archive.org/web/20230426044600/https://dnrservices.mo.gov/env/apcp/asbestos/demo-details.php?param=11437-2022

By "trace", I meant "align". The ways were already there.

My interpretation of "minor arterial" is strongly highway=secondary, but special circumstances can bump it up to primary or down to tertiary. IMO this is not a special circumstance, though, as Richardson is a commercial corridor that is completely avoidable if your destination isn't along it.

As an Arnold resident I can say we have these street sign anomalies all over the place. AIUI the most "on the ground verifiable" version should be preferred but alternate versions should also be made available for routing et al.

Forgot to cite my source as Bing StreetSide

To clarify: The short trunk stretch was sandwiched between long primary stretches.

This 1.28 mile stretch of North Kingshighway should have the same classification as the rest of the same road. Previously this little stretch was classified trunk even though the speed limit didn't change, its network status didn't change, and it doesn't do anything else functionally. Presumably it was due to this stretch being dual carriageway which is not a valid reason anymore for classifying it as a trunk.

This changeset has a large bounding box due to the relations it touches, but the actual changes are confined to a small area. Sorry for the large bounding box!

This changeset had to touch neighboring Imperial Township, Arnold Township, and the county line.

Barnhart*

This is an iterative process. I am aware of the way duplication south and east of Barnhart, but that is "way" better than node duplication.

There were no places where the affected boundaries were intentionally manually adjusted since their corresponding TIGER/Line imports, so places of ambiguity were upgraded to TIGER/Line 2022.

Also, Imperial the CDP to the south does not reside within Imperial Township (to its west). Ugh... Neither is incorporated

I mentioned this in the note, but to get ahead of any confusion: the City of Arnold is coterminous with the civil township of Arnold. Both share the same land area which is an enclave of the unincorporated Windsor Township.

This means Arnold (both city and township) does not border Saint Louis County. Unfortunately, this was the case on OSM for a long time which was a major factor in my edit.

I quadruple checked this one. I know that the statistics metadata should probably be updated, I just wanted to get the geometry in place for now.

Please let me know if there is any problem, and I will be happy to help. Also reactivate #3625698 note if it's relevant to the problem/concern.

No it isn't. I corrected this in a subsequent changeset.

I treated the signposts as canonical and put any other names (such as those with unnecessary spaces in them from county GIS data) in alt_name tags.

Note to self: JOSM search type:way & highway=* & name~".*Pl$" with case sensitive

All of these came from GNIS. The first three I listed went untouched as hamlets for 15 years, but Lakeside was just imported from GNIS. I set them to suburbs earlier, but now I think neighbourhood is a better fit.

On second thought, should these be neighborhoods since Arnold itself can be considered a suburb of St. Louis? Either way, hamlet didn't seem right to me.
