As of April 2025, I’m most interested in house and building details in Toronto, micromapping in Toronto, bicycle infrastructure, keeping POIs in Parkdale and Roncesvalles reasonably up to date, and cleaning up waterways in the Greater Toronto Area.

To contact me, comment on a changeset or a note I’ve created or commented on. To email, search the internet for my name to obtain email address.

I post on the forum as Jarek 🚲, User:Jarek Piórkowski is my wiki account, and I used to post to talk-ca mailing list under that name.

My OSM activity is not associated with my work, except if noted otherwise in changeset message or comment. Since joining OSM I have worked for Game Hive, moovel Group, Conde Nast Britain, Simplifydigital, and Vision Critical.

To try to keep noise-to-signal ratio low, I sometimes resolve OSM.org Map Notes that seem unlikely be useful. The criteria are usually a mix of lack of activity, low quality of initial report (often from anonymous or app users), or notes that users write to themselves without knowing that this then shows up on OSM.org. It seems unlikely to me that keeping such notes open will ever prove useful. Please feel free to message me or reopen a note directly if you disagree.
