It appears that you accidentally glued a power line to a road. I recommend unchecking 'Power Features' under 'Map Features' in the Map Data panel to prevent this from happening in the future.

This changeset seems to change the neighborhood boundary for North Image into a road. I understand that it might be confusing for everything, including administrative boundaries, to all be in the same layer. This issue can be prevented in the future by opening the Map Data panel in the editor (keyboard shortcut 'U') and unchecking 'Boundaries' under 'Map Features'.

It looks like this changeset turned the neighborhood boundary for North Image / Burnt Bridge Creek into a road and broke the boundary relations for the aforementioned neighborhoods

Hi,
I noticed that this changeset separates the pedestrian walkway on Back Bay from the road itself.

In general, paths like this should only be mapped separately if there's a physical barrier, whether it be a curb, island, etc. Since the pedestrian walkway on Back Bay is only separated by paint, the consensus is to instead use tags on the road itself.

Thanks for the clarification! I'm of the opinion that stretches roughly longer than a Portland block (200 ft) shouldn't be left as a dual carriageway, however you do make a good point about the increased difficulty of maintaining relations and lane tagging as more medians get installed. I know that this can be pretty subjective, so I might start a thread on Slack to give others a chance to chime in.

I'm not sure I'm following? According to ODOT, Kelly is classified as an urban collector, which according to the table roughly translates to `highway=tertiary` or `highway=secondary`. Given that it doesn't have a light at Powell and has a 4 way stop at 8th, it can be reasonably concluded that `highway=tertiary` would be more appropriate in this case.

Regardless, functional classifications from ODOT were used as just a starting point for determining highway classifications on OSM. While the goals of each roughly align (funding and regional importance respectively), there are places in which these differ.

Hi,

I noticed that this and subsequent changesets splits Powell into a dual carriageway. It appears that Powell only has a painted median for most of these stretches, however roads should only be mapped as dual carriageways when there's a physical barrier present (see osm.wiki/Dual_carriageway). To be fair I haven't really been paying close attention when driving on Powell these past few months so things might've changed since then.

Hi,

I noticed that you've recently been doing a large number of highway classification changes in Gresham/Troutdale. These edits have unfortunately undone a good deal of work made by the community to form a cohesive network of roads in the United States (osm.wiki/United_States/Highway_classification). For example, `highway=primary` should be reserved for major throughfares such as Powell rather than minor streets like Kelly. I ask that you please stop these mass changes and consult with the local community before continuing.

Was this an accidental edit? I'm not aware of any tourist attractions here

This building should be on layer=1 considering the track, pool, and other sports fields above it are on layer=2. Maybe you're confusing layer with building:levels?

Hi and welcome to OpenStreetMap! I noticed that you changed the place classification of La Pine from village to city. While it is true that La Pine is legally classified as a city, we classify places based roughly on population rather than legal classifications in OSM. Cities are reserved for major population centers such as Bend, with towns for places with less people such as Redmond and Prineville, and smaller incorporated places like La Pine being classified as villages.

There aren't concrete guidelines on how populated places are classified, which was why the #place-classification channel was initially created. Currently, they're loosely based on population as outlined in (osm.wiki/Key:place), with place=city having the most people, place=town having less, place=village having even less, etc

In the Portland Metro area, it looks like cities have a population of >50K and towns >10K

It looks like that this is a historical place. Again, we only map current features in OSM. If you're interested in mapping historical places like these, please do so on dedicated projects such as https://openhistoricalmap.org/

This name is already listed under 'old_name'. If this is still locally referred to as 'Walters Hill', I suggest adding this to 'loc_name' instead as both GNIS and RLIS refer to this as Gresham Butte, with this name being the namesake for surrounding features such as the nature park and neighborhood association.

What is the source for this name change?

Please note that we cannot use copyrighted sources, including ArcGIS, as a source for editing OSM. If this name is locally referred as 'Hogan', I would suggest adding this to 'loc_name' instead as this neighborhood association is referred to as Hogan Cedars by the City of Gresham and RLIS

What is the source for this neighborhood and population?

In the US, typically neighborhood associations within cities such as Gresham's Central City neighborhood association are tagged as place=suburb

place=neighbourhood is usually reserved for places such as prominent subdivisions within larger neighborhoods

See for example Ladd's Addition, which is within the Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood association in Portland

What is the source for this hamlet?

What is the source of the population of Interlachen?
