The landuse areas are ver out of step with the on the ground detail as there is more religous, retail, comercial, entitainment and industrial activities goin at this half of the road than currently indicated. I didn't have time for a more though suvey this morning but the use changes on a building by building basis. I'm yet to count if any have verticaly split landuse tagging required such as shop flats and the like.

I'm looking strongly at the tagging for this {way 30422419} wich isn't a highway=cycleway anymore and is present as a Softly-seperated lane in the main carageway there is a duplicte running from different and start points on the other side for north-westerly traverling cycleists.

I'm also looking at adding uk variant sharrowing nearer manzil way though it is debateable that this is a sharrow at all and form a pair of shared on-carrageway cycleways which takes over the entire carageway that is logical puzzel for visitors they share features behind the use of sharrows but the core guideing function of the sharrow is disapated by it only being a whole lane [access] description symbol and no sign of a arrow head.
sharows are in:- osm.wiki/Key:cycleway and descibed by link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_lane_marking

this block has a complex arangement of verying hight domestic properties and roof gardens above the large shops beneath. Seen well from a pass of a double-deck bus.

When I get a chance I'll try to sort this parking area out customers from cirtain stores can use it but not others...

I'm a bit confused with this area as this is a pedestianised street with a delivery route running where the old carrageway was in the centre and wxtensions over the parking and bas bays to show how to avoid your lorry falling in a basement (its all in the stud markers).
But looking at the render produced today of the openstreetmap standard type it seems to have confused the pedestianisesed street to run up to the buildings on west and to the edge of the old carrageway on the east one or the other makes some sence by the mergeing of both dosn't the render has coloured up the eastern footway with landuse colour where there isn't a building to seem like a pink sidewalk. Idealy all the parts of the street (the old carrageway, the parking and bus stops, and the light loading old footway/sidewalk need seperate mapping areas and then the tagging clarify the weight limit indication (on the footway bits) and the best part to drive a lorry on etc while haveing some genral tags to give a all over peddestian street highway type (try access, parking (with a delivery parking type) and times of access tags on the first bit and a highway tag on the other.

I was going to sort some of the boundries of the hotel and the cotteges of Bath Place but the quad stair cases are confusing me a bit so it might take a bit long than expected to resolve I think it may be a 3d solution in the end or that the cottages are fronts for the stairs only now....

First up: great work on this area, people!

Could a better (less highly visible on all renderings) notation be found for the subterranean bits?

"Building" seems somewhat wrong for the Gladstone Link tunnel (more of a delving?), perhaps best left as a simple tunnel.

I'd suggest building:part=yes areas (osm.wiki/Key:building:part) for the subterranean parts, like the rad cam dome. Leave them not tagged with building=yes, since we already have a separate area for "the above-ground outline of the building".

Sort of a "principle of least surprise" thing: users of the map expect a single outline reflecting the above-ground stuff.

Labelling every staircase with a name is somewhat over the top. Suggest taking a look at "the Other Place" for a perfectly workable tagging scheme for detailed mapping of oxbridge colleges.

Should Broad Street osm.org/way/8078933/history really have a website on it that seems to point to an external "guides to Oxford" company?

I'm awaiting some respoce from boswells before I proced with internal works here.
