---|---|---|
162990157 | 3 months ago | This was already mapped [here](osm.org/node/12512826096) in the correct location. I'll move the non-duplicated tags over and delete this node. |
156068007 | 10 months ago | You beat me to it! I just discovered these bike lanes on my own. They're nice! |
146229659 | 10 months ago | Why the reversion? At least one of these edits (the one I'm looking at at the moment) was valid and helpful. |
155761011 | about 1 year ago | Yeah, sorry about that! I did realize a couple days after that it hadn't actually been completed yet, but I thought I saw them blocking things off for painting at that point so I just left it. Maybe that was just preparatory for the resurfacing though. |
128015193 | almost 2 years ago | Well I'll be! I hadn't seen any indication of this plan on the site, but it does look like that could be a new stop location
|
137770585 | about 2 years ago | Source? I've never heard it called this. |
137428736 | about 2 years ago | Hi Matt,
One way I'd suggest thinking about the namelessness here is that these are service roads, and most service roads actually don't have names. Private or semi-private driveways for example very rarely would be named. I wouldn't want to see osm.org/way/232723249 for example called "No Frills Driveway" or something like that. Where would it stop? Would the parking aisles have names too? "Easternmost North-South No Frills Parking Aisle" etc Also, from the perspective of someone potentially using these names/descriptions to help navigate, I would think these would create confusion if anything. There's no indication of these names in physical reality, so if you were expecting that you might think you were in the wrong place. Better to have a direction like "turn left onto the unnamed alley" as an unnamed alley is what you would actually see. Definitely not writing on behalf of the City by the way; the City has no say over what's right for OSM. Nor does Google Maps or any else for that matter. Here's a good rundown of how to use the "name" tag: osm.wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only
Best,
|
137428736 | about 2 years ago | Please stop adding these names to alleys. These alleys do not have names. There are no signs and no one calls them by these names. |
135856515 | over 2 years ago | Just confirming; it looks like the conditional was from before the King Corridor rules, so would have been replaced by those. |
135596405 | over 2 years ago | I agree; I probably shouldn't have deleted that node, and I'm pretty sure I ended up keeping most other stops / platform areas (contra public_transport=stop_position's which I did consistently remove) in later edits. They'll mostly be served by the bus replacements, so can be converted into bus stops while maintaining the history. In other cases, they'll probably still be marked by shelters or other infrastructure, even if unused and can use your proposed tagging. I'll have a try at resurrecting that later this evening, if you don't beat me to it. |
132901700 | over 2 years ago | I say go for it! Especially if you have some actual familiarity with the street / area. Most parts of Toronto could really use a lot more local attention. I know a ton of data was brought in by andrewpmk and others ages ago and much of it hasn't received too much tending since then. Lots of stuff is outdated or was imported and never fully verified against local knowledge. |
132901700 | over 2 years ago | Hmmm. I just took a look at the change history, and I don't think I was the one that added that tag. It looks like it was added ~8 years ago by andrewpmk. You may well be right; while not a decent place to ride a bike, you could presumably enter/exit at Transit Road before it becomes an expressway. |
118785834 | over 2 years ago | I've reverted this in changeset #129942938, restoring the mall's mostly demolished state. I think you may have traced it back in from outdated imagery. It's well on its way to being condos now. |
128206179 | almost 3 years ago | Thanks for fixing this! |
122598321 | about 3 years ago | Do you have a source for the name "Anita's Field? I live right next to this and have never heard this name. |
115988697 | over 3 years ago | Apologies for stepping on any toes. My impression was that the regional municipality was going as "Halifax" and that the previous city boundary was now defunct as an administrative boundary, but kept around perhaps as a statistical unit, similar to Old Toronto: osm.org/relation/2989349 Halifax.ca seems to indicate that this is the case, as does the English Wikipedia page for "Halifax, Nova Scotia": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halifax,_Nova_Scotia A search for "Halifax" in Nominatim currently returns the historical city boundary, not the current amalgamated boundary. Is that the desired outcome? |
115988697 | over 3 years ago | There's no place called "Halifax"?
|
114532481 | over 3 years ago | I've reverted this changeset in changeset 114540378. I'm not sure what all changes were attempted here, but it left both India and Pakistan border relations in an invalid state. There was an open gap in their shared border. I'm not familiar enough with the region to assess the the quality of other edits so I thought it was safest to revert rather than manually bridging the gap myself. |
109751313 | about 4 years ago | See also note: osm.org/note/2805986 |
108434147 | about 4 years ago | I reverted this changeset because it broke the city's boundary relation. |
