Hey, thanks for fixing up these super old unsplit sidewalks!

FYI, the "zebra" markings used in Toronto are actually called "ladder" in OSM.

OSM's "zebra" doesn't have the thin lines perpendicular to the thick stripes, "ladder" does.

Check them osm.wiki/Key:crossing:markings

This edit wrongly deleted a PXO I mapped, please see discussion in osm.org/changeset/158682128

Sorry, the deleted crosswalk was actually in osm.org/changeset/158682620 - another of your edits in the area

Hello,

In this edit you deleted a crosswalk with flashing lights (PXO) at Barondale and west side of Whistler Crescent: osm.org/node/12255805575/history . I added it in osm.org/changeset/157977678 having seen it in in-person survey. I would ask that you do not delete data in areas you are not familiar with, and check OSM history if unsure.

Hey PcMouse1,

Looking at this change to Sherbourne Street again - you drew in the bike track, but didn't change cycleway tagging on the highway=tertiary (so now two bike tracks are showing, one on the road and one cycleway), didn't update the local cycle network relation, and didn't give the cycle tracks a name. I think these are pretty important to make this useful for data consumers. Would you do it?

Cheers,
Jarek

Sorry, what I meant is I want the instruction to be "turn right onto Sherbourne Street cycle track" rather than "turn right onto unnamed cycle track". When I'm reading or listening to the instructions I want the name of the street because that tells me the street name sign to watch for when I'm riding.

Hey there,

If you add the bike lanes/tracks as separate ways, can you please assign name=Sherbourne Street? That way the name will be displayed in text routing instructions -- "turn right onto Sherbourne Street" rather than only "turn right onto cycle track".

Thanks!

Hey Andrew, it looks like this change replaced all crossing=marked with crossing=uncontrolled? It led to some bad results, like osm.org/way/124486669 being tagged as crossing=uncontrolled even though it's a traffic light crosswalk. Can you fix these manually or should we undo the whole change? 6000 ways seems a lot to check manually...

Sorry I'm not sure I understand.

The Google image is not that clear, but from memory I think that sign says something like "no vehicles except authorized"?

Do you think that any piece of pavement in a Toronto park that has a sign "no vehicles except authorized" should be a highway=service? Because that's going to include a _lot_ of ways that are in practice overwhelmingly used by pedestrians.

Hi,

Can you point to what exactly on the wiki you read that made you believe this should be a highway=service?

My gut feeling is that paths should be tagged according to their prevalent use, and the small trackless train running on it April to October doesn't necessarily make it not a path. As another example, city parks dept vehicles (including pickup trucks) regularly drive on park paths or on Martin Goodman Trail. But I'd like to make sure I'm not completely off-base here.

Cheers,
Jarek

this one was also not fake, re-fixed it

for the record, this turbine _was_ real, but was removed around 2018

hey, FYI I re-added this wind turbine and added details - it's not fake osm.org/node/1884714324/history

(Survey incomplete here because it was getting dark and a bunch of house numbers were quite hard to see)

The boundary was previously mapped as osm.org/way/850663635/history

Also, can you comment on why you made this change after being requested not to do so 22 days ago in osm.org/changeset/152522508 , and furthermore given that St. John's is explicitly mentioned in the second paragraph of osm.wiki/Abbreviations ?

(Sorry, correction - St Andrews is of course in Scotland, not England, so I should have written "UK" in the first paragraph)

Hello cm81447,

As OSM members, we are well aware of the abbreviations guideline. It is not the case that "OSM does not allow abbreviations". In fact, England, the birthplace of OSM, has many localities which have "abbreviated" names such as St Ives or St Andrews. These are not expanded because they are not, in fact, abbreviations - that's just the name.

I would request that you would please familiarize yourself with _local_ OSM guidelines and perhaps discuss with the local community before changing the name of a provincial capital. As you are aware, local communities are free to set guidelines and norms which override OSM-wide guidelines - best exemplified by the UK examples mentioned above. The Canadian guideline is at osm.wiki/Canada/Tagging_guidelines#Municipality_Names .

Would you please revert this edit?

Thank you,
Jarek Piórkowski

Hey, can you comment on what you've changed here and why? Is Addison Lane this zig-zagging shape now? It doesn't seem to match aerial imagery
