Thanks for sprucing up this scattered set of neighborhoods in Southwestern Ohio. Note that sometimes you need to split a way before deleting it. While you were correct in identifying way 168816847 as having been reconfigured, the deletion also affected the ability to turn left from way 432841207 onto way 431577087. Not the end of the world, but something to keep in mind for the future. Also feel free to add anything that you see replacing the roads that got demolished.

Thanks for making the route relation more manageable. Breaking up these massive relations means a lot to me, as someone who uses Web-based editors.

Changeset 90897098 changes the Little Miami Scenic Trail back to highway=cycleway. The North Country Trail and Buckeye Trail happen to traverse the Little Miami trail, but the it’s more well-known as a bike trail. Access tags are sufficient for conveying that the trail is also designated for hiking and horse-riding.

Yup, back when I added cuisine=boba here, we still had a mess of four or five equally common tags for the same thing. I later settled on cuisine=bubble_tea and documented it in osm.wiki/Tag:cuisine%3Dbubble_tea so I could start adding some boba chains to NSI. If you spot older tagging like this, please feel free to correct it. In this case, there aren’t that many occurrences of the older tag, but in cases where there are, it might also be worth asking editors to flag it as a deprecated tag.

Hi, thanks for your attention to this part of the map. This is related to https://www.wdam.com/2020/06/08/lamar-county-intersection-be-rerouted-driver-safety/ , correct? It sounds like the changes haven’t been completed yet, so changeset 90780773 temporarily undid the changes. But please feel free to redo the changes once they’re complete. When you do, please consider using Sentence Case rather than ALL CAPS and choosing the Residential Road preset instead of Primary Road. Your edits are less likely to be mistaken for vandalism that way.

I don’t think disused:building=* (including disused:building=retail) is appropriate. building=* tags refer to the building’s original purpose when built, not what it’s currently used for. For example, osm.org/way/498357508 is still building=retail despite having been convert to a church. It’s counterintuitive, but the idea is apparently to give renderers a hint about the architecture of the building. You can use building:use=* to indicate the current use of the building if it differs and isn’t obvious from other tags like amenity=* or shop=*.

Once the building is demolished, then it would become demolished:building=retail.

Once the buildings are demolished, then demolished:building=* would be appropriate. But until then, the buildings are still standing, so an unprefixed building=* is correct. You could add end_date=* if you know when they plan to demolish the buildings.

A lot of the shops are already tagged disused:shop=* and shop=vacant, which seems adequate. I didn’t retag any of the businesses that were still tagged as being in operation, because I’m unfamiliar with this mall. But if you know that additional businesses have closed, feel free to update them too.

Thanks for making these corrections. Changeset 73976526 is part of a pattern of fictional editing that multiple mappers have complained about lately in both Indiana and Ohio.

Ah, I wasn’t aware of that tag, thanks!

The following listings need to be updated unless someone swaps the relations back to how they were before this changeset:

osm.wiki/Interstate_Highway_relations
osm.wiki/Ohio/Route_relations/National_routes

If someone does swap the relations back to how they were, this Wikidata statement needs to be updated:

Fixed in changeset 89795914.

Yes, that was by mistake. I’m using the Vietnamese localization of iD, which for some reason is showing bicycle parking ahead of car parking when searching for parking.

I also used https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/Civic-Center-Plaza-Flagpoles-Historical-Background.pdf as a source. https://www.kqed.org/news/11787663/why-is-there-a-texas-flag-in-front-of-city-hall says this document was authored by the San Francisco Recreation & Parks Department, a California local government agency, and is therefore in the public domain.

Changeset 89112696 adds a couple roads that became disconnected after the deletions in this changeset. Hopefully I didn’t mess anything up further. I can only imagine the chaos that you saw here last year. 😬

This changeset also restores several through roads that got deleted in changeset 68990604.

Fixed in changeset 88991079.

Oh I see, looks like autocomplete got me again. I’ll fix that.

He’s a local community activist. I was having some difficulty finding any verifiable published sources that establish his notability for inclusion in Wikidata, but I’ll keep looking.

Oops, thanks for catching that!

Thanks for your quick help! Added in changeset 88051331.

Hi, do you know what flag osm.org/node/6772395982 represents? It would be nice to put that information in the flag:name tag if possible. I can see most of the flag in https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/4Lpr5kDgE1x6AHatfYEPzA , but I’m not familiar enough with this region to know what the logo is for.
