Source was aerial imagery, not survey. I didn't see that the source value was prefilled when I went to save the changeset.

Oh, for sure!! Like I said, I've been meaning to for a while and have just wanted to map elsewhere for a bit. This was a really good prompt for me to get it and the windsled route on the map.

It's always better to have something roughed in than not on the map, and there's a ton of places, especially up north, where most things aren't even roughed in. It's always good to close that gap.

Hey! I've actually been meaning to add the ice road for a while and just haven't gotten around to it yet. This isn't quite the right alignment, so I'm going to re-add it closer to its usual route. Unfortunately, I highly doubt that it will open again this year for me to able to get a GPS trace given how mild of a winter we've had so far (and the ferry never stopped running last year); I can still go off of memory from when I last drove it and use the proper approach roads. Just wanted to let you know first!

All good!

Some ways for boundaries of cities, villages, towns, and counties in Wisconsin are just slightly off in where they're placed. Comparing parcel map data against OSM will show that—the town line here cut through parcels that were in just one town and not the other. The State Cartographer's Office's Statewide Parcel Map Initiative is a great resource for Wisconsin: https://maps.sco.wisc.edu/Parcels/

Apologies for not replying; I'm really bad with emails and missed these two comments.

I have no issues with that being removed. I used to look at plats a lot, as some reflect neighborhood names that are still in use now, but a fair amount of them don't and as a result I've pretty much stopped looking at them.

Hey! I noticed you changed US 8 from a trunk back to a primary in St. Croix Falls. Could you tell me a bit about your thinking here?

I've driven the section I retagged as trunk a few times and felt it made a good amount of sense: it has limited access points relative to other roads in the area (particularly other primaries), is pretty wide, speeds are decent, and traffic is pretty high relative to other roadways (including sections of US 8 from Deer Lake and eastward).

Just curious if you've driven through here and what your thoughts are. I'm tempted to change it back, but I'd like to hear from you first if it's possible.

Thanks for the note- I have no idea how that happened.

This is a start at mapping the Mecan River Fishery Area; there remains work to be done on this relation. If you or someone else is interested in completing the relation, that would be great. Otherwise it may take a while before I start mapping in this part of the state again.

I generally prioritize other DNR properties/areas over SNAs when it comes to mapping a way rather than a node. Otherwise it tends to get confusing with SNAs often being smaller portions of other DNR or non-DNR public lands.

I was actually splitting the two landuse areas; the path is a remnant from the former combined way. I use iD as my primary editor and find it is super easy to just tack on an extra letter to a key to shift a way from rendering as an area to a linear way- this makes it easier to split ways without iD automatically converting it to a relation. I must have forgotten to clean up one of the ways this created. Sorry about that, and thanks for noticing!

I personally would prefer if that relation were split up, but it would be quite an undertaking to split it because of how many members are in the relation and how large of a geographic area it covers. That is why I have left it as is for now. If I have the time at some point, I do think it would be good for it to be split.

I'm pretty sure I found it through the DNR, but it has definitely been a while since I added it! Thanks for all the great work you're doing in the Milwaukee area, by the way!

I mapped it this way to be somewhat consistent with how other campuses are mapped in Wisconsin (see UW-Madison- Alumni Park & Library Mall): osm.org/#map=18/43.07566/-89.39865

If someone knows the campus well and feels that another tagging would be better (I can definitely see tagging Shakespeare Garden as a garden), feel free to make/recommend changes.

Thanks for pointing this out, and happy mapping!

Yeah, every once in a while I forget to change my changeset comment before I save. #oops

I created an area for the entire campus as the schools are associated with each other and use the overall campus in ways that would make it difficult to delineate exactly where one campus ends and where the other begins. The Edgewood campus functions as one campus; there happen to be two other schools on the campus of the college rather than three separate campuses in close proximity. I will go ahead and make sure the campus school and high school buildings are tagged amenity=school, though.

Those issues appear to be stemming from the Towns of Kinnickinnic, Troy, and Warren, which I know are incomplete. The Town of Hudson and Village of North Hudson are fine (which are the ones I said were fine). Sometimes I can't finish mapping a county's towns all at the same time, which means I end up coming back later and finishing them. If you ever see relations for towns like these that are unfinished and want to work on finishing them, go for it. Otherwise I'll get to them when I map in the area again.

Somewhere on the wiki it said to use a variant like that if the stop is named differently by different operators. I haven't begun looking at MCTS routes in this area yet, so I didn't want to assume that it had the same name in both networks.

That's quite possible- I don't get out there very often. If you are familiar enough with it to map it, or at least enough to fix what I currently have there, that would be great!

Sorry for not responding- I don't check my email very regularly. I usually am working on several relations at a time, so I often leave some unfinished for a while before I go back to them (it's very time-consuming to map large or complex relations). If you want to finish mapping it (the DNR conservancy), that would be great. If not, I'll eventually get around to it.

I was experimenting with mapping it as an area; it's not really working out. A way would work much better.

I believe that the "fingers" are owned by the Wisconsin Co-op Housing Association (neighborhood association for Crestwood); that's why I created separate parks here.
