There is still a disused level crossing at the Walmart exit. Any reason why it was removed?

I did a partial revert of this one as I know two of these things are not removed. Perhaps they are invisible on Maxar but they are there. osm.org/changeset/104687488

Hi there. I don't see a park there on Cawdor Ct. That is just someone's yard. I think we should remove it. Thoughts? Parcel data:

When the follow tool would be too tedious I'll split up the big area into a multipolygon then reuse one of the sides in both the old and new. Does that make sense? could be helpful here.

My only comment is to watch for non-wooded areas when covering big swaths of woods this way. There are a couple of homes in clearings in the woods that I just made using a multipolygon as an example (osm.org/changeset/103006808#map=13/39.4008/-77.6473).

Also, I tagged the grassland along the powerline break. Those are useful to do, to give some definition to the woods. All in all good work here, keep it up.

Hey there. I see you've been working along South Mountain and the AT adding forestry land cover. Nice work! I am working in the area on updating the protected lands boundaries with the latest info from Maryland DNR and NPS, and per the latest updated wiki on how to tag protected lands. If you see any sudden changes to the way the natural areas are tagged, that's what's going on.

I love to cover those areas with trees, like your doing, so keep that up. Cheers!

Everything looks good here Mike! Nice work

Not sure where the missing pieces went but I have it all sorted with several new and changed CDPs in that vicinity added too.

Hmm, what the heck happened there!

Looking good here Mike!

My question to you is what are your thoughts on changing the PVSP park areas from leisure=park to leisure=nature reserve. Fundamentally the only different between PVSP and a big wildlife management area like Patuxent or Soldier's Delight is just the name. They all have trails and allow recreation. The philosophy is that a true OSM park is a manicured urban park, like Patterson Park, and that these big wooded area 'parks' should be classified nature reserve instead. If I changed all 20 park areas to nature reserve, they'd look a bit different on the map and some websites might show them differently. However, once all the landcover is drawn, they look quite nice. Check out Loch Raven Reservoir for instance.

Thanks for the help. Ideally I think we'd cover the full park with its landuse/landcover so that the underlying "green" area doesn't show. But if you pan west, I just made a bunch of area changes based on Ranger Joe's new plan so now areas like Davis overlap the larger tree area. We could split that tree area up but it does feel a bit like whack-a-mole to do that...

Thank you! I would normally just leave the woods covering the creek and trail, as you said, but I'm trying to prevent the woods from appearing "under" the green park polygons on the main map. This is mapping for the renderer in its truest form, which I normally avoid. However, the park managers are confused by the multicolored areas. The more I go down that rabbit hole (and thank you for mentioning it) the more I'm thinking about switching the park areas over to leisure=nature_reserve. There is much debate in the community over whether large forested "parks" fit the definition of a park by the original design.

I split them up because when the woods are smaller than the park, the woods appear on top. It is annoying. What do you think?
