Hi,
Nearly every incorporated community in Utah with a population greater than 1000 is legally a city. In OpenStreetMap, we don't use the legal classifications for the place tag, but instead use a hierarchical system. So cities are more important than towns which are more important than villages which are more important than hamlets. Maybe after another decade of growth Heber City could qualify as a place=city, but for now it's too small and too close to Provo to qualify (imo).

Hi,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap, and thank you for your contributions! Just so you know, features like industrial areas aren't supposed to match up with any property lines, but are supposed to show the developed portion of the property. It looks like you matched it to the perimeter fence, which is a totally fine thing to do.

Hi,
Why did you change Heber City from a place=town to a place=city? It doesn't have the traditional hallmarks of a city like a university or a temple (though it should be getting a temple later this decade). And it doesn't even have a population of 20k yet.

Hi,
In OpenStreetMap, we title-case street names. So the road that you labeled "OAKHILL Road" is properly spelled "Oakhill Road", how it was before you changed it.

I did the survey I wanted, and it left me more confused than before. I'm going to have to send a letter to NHDOT to tease this out.

There's nothing wrong with adding all this landcover detail. If you feel like it's worthwhile, then go for it! Most of Europe is covered in high-resolution landcover information, and it does look quite nice there.

I agree that SR 20 is a better fit for trunk than US 89 north of Panguitch. I also agree that I'm not a fan of any of US 89 in Utah besides Sardine Canyon being trunk, but folks I've talked to from Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, and Arizona want this route to be trunk. Thanks for drafting an initial page and posting the link. I'm going to look it over this morning and make some contributions.

Hi,
Your edits in this area run afoul of OpenStreetMap's one feature, one element guideline. You combined the tags from three different features into one element, which means that the associated tags are all wrong now. As an example, the name of the stream running through Little Wild Horse Canyon is not "Little Wild Horse Canyon Trail". Also the name of Little Wild Horse Canyon is not "Little Wild Horse Canyon Trail". I'll be reverting these edits later today.

FYI, Xvtn, the expressway definition of trunk doesn't hold any consensus anymore. There's been a lot of talk over the past year about reworking national and state-level guidance for highway classification to be more like other countries on the talk-us mailing list and the OSMUS Slack. We haven't started drafting state-level guidelines for Utah yet, mainly because Oregonian3 did a good enough job when they redid everything a few years ago that it's not pressing like it is in other states.

I brought up this case to the folks in the Slack this morning, and I'm waiting a bit to get some other opinions before changing it to Main Street.

Hi,
Why set 1000 West to trunk instead of Main Street? I feel like most folks going through either of those canyons would be going to the main part of Logan rather than skirting the western edge. (sorry if this went through twice, I'm not sure if the web UI is having glitches or if it failed to go through the first time)

Hi,
I've noticed that you've started deleting and redrawing objects rather than modifying them. Please know that this removes the history, which makes it more challenging to spot mistakes and to understand how the tags on a feature have changed over time. Please see osm.wiki/Good_practice#Keep_the_history for more information.

Sincerely,
aweech

Hi,
I reviewed your edits, as you requested. Just so you know, the motorway junction tag is for things like exits from I-93. I replaced it with the trailhead tag where applicable. I also cleaned up the geometries so they weren't overlapping or disconnected anymore.

Thank you for your contributions!

Hi,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap, and thank you for your contributions. I decided to remove this parking area because this isn't a parking lot operated by Ace Parking, and because we don't really map informal parking areas. Let me know if you have any questions.

114795551 over 3 years ago

Hi,
Do you have more information about that path that you drew between the edge of the park and Delicate Arch? It doesn't appear to be used at all nowadays based on Strava data. Who calls it "Winter Camp Ridge to Delicate Arch Trail", and is it actually used?

Hi,
A turning circle is a widened area of road that allows vehicles to turn around easily, and they are often found at the ends of streets. Please see osm.wiki/Tag:highway%3Dturning_circle for more information.

Hi,
In this edit, you deleted several water features and an entire golf course. Please be aware that deleting things that are real is not appropriate behavior, and the original versions will be restored. Features should be modified rather than deleted in most cases.

Hi,
This feature represents the Wasatch Mountains. The Wasatch Mountains are not entirely a plantation. In fact, most of it is barren rock and scrubland, and the rest is largely a untouched between sporadic thinnings. If you know of any tree plantations on the edges of the National Forests, please feel free to create areas for those.

Hi,
When I was just starting out mapping, someone told me that a private street with three or more houses and a name should be tagged as a residential road and any less should be tagged as a service road. It depends though on the specifics though. For example, a way like osm.org/way/824759651 should probably be tagged as service even though it has a bunch of units off of it because it doesn't have its own name and is clearly a notch below the residential road it is attached to.

Also, shared driveways shouldn't be tagged as driveways (I know that sounds silly but OSM tags with British English most of the time). The shared part should be just a plain service road or a service road also tagged with service=pipestem. Here's an example: osm.org/way/856403033

Hi,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap! I reviewed your edit, as you requested, and I'm not sure what you're trying to communicate. I can see that there's an unnatural square that's darker than the surrounding landscape. Do you know what's being done there? The way you tagged it makes it seem like a cactus farm.

Hi,
Just so you know, the Esri World Imagery (Clarity) Beta imagery is quite old, and the world changes. I fixed this edit and 114403806 to reflect new developments. I recommend using a newer imagery source like the plain Esri World Imagery.
