Have a look, someone changed it again. I changed it back though. https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/relation/6077602

Here you can see that your account and several other generic/probably fake or throwaway accounts have a history of removing the tag.

Hi there. This national park is commonly accepted as a leisure=park here and has been tagged that way for a long time. It is not a "fix" to remove the tag. This is a linear park where most of the land is used for active recreation. If you look through the history this has been untagged as a park and then it is added back over and over. Please, don't contribute to that. If you want to raise the issue in tagging or talk-us, please do, but the locals agree it is a park.

Either at the top or the bottom is fine. Those don't have a lot of use though, it is usually better/simpler in my opinion to make separate routes for the bypasses and such and then use a superroute to capture them all.

Update, one other thing. I made the non-casual part of the RCG route an MTB relation. osm.org/changeset/112718732#map=16/39.0225/-76.9972

Got it. I took a crack at reordering the various route relations so that everything should be pretty good now. Put in some new geometry from MoCo too. osm.org/changeset/112718562

Looking good here, though I think the RCG is now double mapped with the NBT Mtn. Bike Trail. Should the Rachel Carson Greenway (RCG) overlap the Northwest Branch Trail (NBT)?

Darn clipboard! This one :)

Thanks! Sorry meant this relation (the spur) osm.org/relation/1778673

You can see I put it on the north side of the new configuration for now. I’ve put out an inquiry with the ECG folks but since it’s under construction you’re right they probably won’t sign it right away. If you see anything pop up let me know. DC has all the best bike infrastructure!

Thanks again,
Elliott (in Baltimore)

I have emailed PG parks to see if they know.

PG Parks still shows it closed :p

Oh, damn. I was assuming Greenway People have better intel. If that's the case I'll just revert this one.

Wanted to update and say I fixed the offending cycleways along 4th St SW. Most of the ones I came across in the area are good though. The protected lanes should always merge back to the roadway wherever the separation ends. All set here but keep in mind for future.

Nice work on getting R open. Are you familiar with the East Coast Greenway? I believe the new cycletrack carries it and I've updated the route but if you could doublecheck on the ground, that'd be awesome. I'm talking about the area around where S Capitol St SW has been realigned SW of the Nationals Park.

Awesome, thanks for you public service to the bicycling community! I should have said (in my original comment) that I didn't recognize these routes, not edits, sorry! I see them in the source you provided though and respect local knowledge over anything I could dig up anyhow.

My angle is trying to streamline the bicycle route network in the area and I'd wondered if any of these could possibly be moved on to the adjacent protected lanes in certain cases (like on Campus Drive.)

Hey there, There are some edits to bicycle infrastructure in this changeset that are non-standard and should be adjusted. I'm a huge cyclist and advocate, so I'm all about bike edits but it should follow the best practices outline in the wiki and elsewhere. PeopleForBikes has a great explainer for all this here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1isc9M9_c-QL4Oy8_MxAyogZ6ocs1F6PeEn_Y1p0WZp8/edit

The main issue here is that bike lanes that not physically separated should not be tagged as independent cycleway ways. The only time you should add a separate cycleway is for an off street path (like in a park) that is a cycleway, or a protected bicycle lane. Protected, in the US, tends to mean parked cars or bollards separating the lane. Otherwise, the cycleway tags are added directly to the roadway.

Hi there. What was the Bike Maryland source for these LCN adds around College Park? I am a Bike Maryland member and do not recognize these edits. The link given does not resolve to any particular source.

Hey there, this is super cool work! But by using the Bing imagery here everything is shifted a great deal. Would you considered moving things with the Maryland latest imagery instead? The Maryland imagery is adjusted for local distortion unlike Bing.

PS: User_5359, I think they moved those tags to the larger rock cut areas.

Hi there. While I agree that there is no safe place to walk along 355 here, the roadways is not prohibited to pedestrians, just merely unsafe. The foot=no tag should only be used if there is a sign prohibited pedestrians by law, such as on the entrance to an interstate. In this case, you could tag that there is no shoulder and no sidewalk, but not prohibit foot traffic.

This changeset has been reverted in full in osm.org/changeset/112229801

You cannot simply delete everything in an area and say sorry. The address nodes deleted were imported with full community agreement, as were the parking lots surveyed. It is fine to update something if it is wrong, but not to delete everything en masse. This affects users of the data as whole streets had been removed.
