In honor of the Music Midtown festival held over the weekend, I decided to focus my attention on updating Atlanta’s historic Piedmont Park, as they’ve renovated a lot in the last 2 years or so. Also, I added the new Historic Fourth Ward Park along the Atlanta Beltline project as well. The park is interesting, because they’ve made a “pond” and park out of an urban water retention pond. The park has lots of curvy sidewalks and retaining walls, which were fund to digitize. The whole process would have been easier if the highest resolution Bing Imagery had been from after the park construction instead of before the construction, but oh well!

Since I’m still earning my OSM chops, please take a look at these edits and let me know if you have any suggestions to my topology/tagging/digitizing. Any comments will be taken constructively.

I had a good time today participating in the Second Wave of the US Remap-A-Tron, and working at being a better OSM data producer. It’s funny that I first look at the area in which I live (Atlanta) and didn’t think there was much to add to the map, but after spending time moving about the US during the Remap-A-Tron, I’ve come to recognize how much of my own neighborhood still needs to be added. Who else is working on data in Atlanta?
