Oh, this one didn't do parking tags, because I wasn't entirely sure about them

Hey, osm.org/way/1414000295 still has access=private here, I'm assuming that's an error?

So I think there's two questions:

- What was meant in your edit?
- What should be tagged in OSM?

An OpenStreetMap preset project has included "City of Toronto" and Q172 when a park operator is entered as something like "City of Toronto" since 2022:

https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index/commit/94b011c05ef797394d6d1fabc284baab9425eeea#diff-c595cdb591d97a91e00711537f90e3c1b3418df99ffab545e5a6a66ed65ed1eeR2111

These tags will gradually roll out to Toronto parks as they are edited in OSM and the presets are accepted by editors. Some of the parks are already tagged, e.g. osm.org/way/9153060

Specifying operator=City of Toronto and not:wikidata:operator=Q172 means, in OSM speak, that the operator is the City of Toronto, but it's not the same City of Toronto as indicated by https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q172 (which is Wikidata for "Toronto"). Possibly this happened by mistake or misunderstanding here. But that's why I asked.

If it's a standard city park, the resolution is likely to change the tag not:wikidata:operator=Q172 to wikidata:operator=Q172

Hey, this edit mapped the park as operator=City of Toronto and not:operator:wikidata=Q172, where Q172 is the Wikidata entry for Toronto. So is the park operated by the City or not? Or did you mean that the operator is the municipal government Toronto rather than the general "Toronto city"?

Or if based on your survey these are not suitable or allowed for bicycle use, can you discuss with DaveTO in one of those changesets, like osm.org/changeset/135488466 ?

Did you see the changeset comments when they were created?

"The sidewalks on Allen Rd between Sheppard Ave and Transit Rd are asphalt, clearly meant to act as a multiuse pathway or as a protected bike lane. Thus, I am tagging them as paths so that navigation apps can take advantage of them. " osm.org/way/1166193150/history/2

" Based on street-level photos, it is apparent that the asphalt "sidewalks" alongside Allen Rd between Sheppard Ave and Transit Rd are meant to act as one-way multiuse paths shared by cyclists and pedestrians. Allen Rd itself allows bikes until Transit Rd. " osm.org/way/1166193150/history/3

You changed them to sidewalk tagging but that excludes bicycles again

Ah I see now that the access=yes tag is newer, thanks.

... although all roads leading to here are access=private... ah well

Hello ine63,

These changesets are being discussed on the Community Forum due to questions about the tags used (meaning of "retail shops") and potential license issues. Can you contribute, in English or in Korean? https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/recent-import-introduced-new-tag-amenity-retail-shops-in-seoul/131657

Thank you!

Hi, this changeset deleted a parking node tagged access=private and surface=unpaved and didn't add these tags to the parking way (which is still access=yes), is this an error?

Hey, nice job mapping up in Richmond Hill! Just wanted to mention that postal codes of buildings and other points are more commonly tagged as addr:postcode=*.

postal_code=* is more commonly used for tagging streets or towns in cases where a whole street or town is in the same postal code (less common in Canada due to A1A 1A1-format postal codes being much more granular)

Hello, can you comment why you upgraded this section of road?

also the primary source was actually survey! But aerial imagery confirms it
