Hey Danny,
For consistency sake, let's agree on how to map sidewalks when they meet the road.
I think it makes sense to draw a separate crossing way (highway=footway, footway=crossing) on crossings with all-way stops and traffic signals. Otherwise, just connect sidewalk to the road with lower priority.
BTW, if you see missing stop signs/traffic signals - feel free to add them.

Do you mind not deleting an actual existing-on-the-ground disused rail tracks in favor of a proposed railway that is still 5+ years away and that might not even be funded? At least until the tracks are ripped out?
Please re-map it.
Thanks.

Sounds good. I'll leave these to you.
One more thing, I recommend to apply "Building with almost square angles" fix to the buildings you import.
See here for more info: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ca/2019-February/009101.html

Otherwise inevitably OSM police from Europe will show up and question your work.

OK, I'll keep that in mind.

Thanks. I see now it's pretty dirty indeed. Should've gone the task manager way.
Feel free to revert it if it's too much of a trouble, I'll create the TM project instead.

Matt, do you have a list of problems so I can go through them?

Danny, I've been importing minor city datasets for a while with local buy-in. Imported this one by extension. If you have concerns let me know.

Are you sure there are no addresses between 236 and 248 on Paseo private? How do they name their units? ABCD?

Yeah I mean house numbers 1275, 1279, 1283, etc are not there. If they ever show up no one will be able to find them. That's what interpolations are for.

Hey Brandon,
Great job adding addresses to buildings in Oshawa. One little thing though, consider NOT deleting address interpolations when there are missing house numbers on a street.
For example if there is ever house number 1275 on this street (somebody builds a duplex for example) nobody will be able to find it without interpolation you've deleted: https://osmcha.mapbox.com/changesets/66885386
Also it appears you are forgetting sometimes to add `addr:street` tags to buildings - those are needed

SimonPoole: When an existing building has any meaningful tags I always replace geometry preserving history and existing tags. It's only when I encounter a cluster of `building=yes` without any other tags I would delete them.

It's a high quality dataset from the city and it's square when the building is square and not square when the building is not square.

PS: love your tools and use them all the time, thanks.

Yeah good point. I missed that rule at first and kept dragging for a while. Will switch to import account going forward.

I've never seen "highway=destroyed:path" used before. Taginfo doesn't know about it either: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/highway=destroyed:path

The tag you are looking for is "smoothness=impassable". Or you can use "access=no" although I would just use impassable.

Please pay attention to your edits. Both your changesets in Ottawa make no sense

Hi Hans, I've noticed you've added some bike lanes as separate ways along Fisher. This is not how they should be mapped. Separate ways should only be used for separate infrastructure, which painted bike lanes or shoulders are not, as you know.
Mapping cycle tracks along Prince of Wales as separated ways is correct. Bike lanes along Cayman and Fisher - NOT. I've removed them.
For painted bike lanes you should use tags on the road, i.e. cycleway=shoulder on Fisher or cyclway=lane on Grand Cayman.
Here's more details on our wiki: https://github.com/BikeOttawa/OSM-Bike-Ottawa-Tagging-Guide

I use osmcha to see what's going on around Ottawa. Helps reverse some bad changes by new mappers. Your changeset was flagged as suspect.

Seems like "leisure=dance" & "dance:teaching=yes" is more appropriate for dancing schools: leisure=dance
I wouldn't call dancing a sport.
Another option is using "amenity=dancing_school" but it appears to be abandoned in favour of "leisure=dance": amenity=dancing_school

Hi Heather,

Avoid tagging footways with footway=sidewalk like this one: way/167701739

Our routing algorithm excludes sidewalks, so it's kinda important. Sidewalks run right next to the streets, usually narrow and concrete.

Yeah it moved. Fixed
