114664993 | almost 3 years ago | Oh man, I have no clue how I messed that up. Normally I'm good about checking all the imageries, the Strava heatmap, and DOT pages before making a big change like that, all of which would have told me I was wrong. I must have been sleep-editing that day. Sorry about that, and thanks for fixing it! |
126343294 | almost 3 years ago | Yeah, I tried stringing the ways together for the relations and couldn't make it work physically. I think the best thing to do may be to model it so the westbound direction uses the sidewalk and the eastbound direction uses the slipway, but also it's probably best to leave it asymmetric since it's not a good connection in real life. |
124457304 | almost 3 years ago | Multi-use paths are not tagged highway=cycleway. That survey says the Mass Ave - Dartmouth Street section of the SWC has less conflict between pedestrians and bicyclists, and I'd say it's because so few bicyclists use it because it's so pedestrian centric. Just look at the Strava heatmap; beyond Ruggles Columbus Ave is a much more popular route. Not to mention that those sidewalks the SWC path runs on are narrower in places than the sidewalks on Columbus Ave! You might get lucky and hit the path with less congestion, but the entire built environment there screams that the park is for pedestrians primarily. |

123982516 | almost 3 years ago | I can tell you've ever been there, but, if you had, you would know that that way is incredibly unpleasant to bike on with how thick with pedestrians it is. The asphalt path across the lawn is much better because it is wider and less space pressured, though it still has a lot of pedestrians. I should probably start tagging more ways like this as footways here in the city. I'm more used to semi-rural and suburban environments where those don't really exist besides sidewalks. |
123339723 | almost 3 years ago | This is a busy walkway, not a cycleway. I probably should have changed it to footway (it's even called the harbor WALK). I've ridden and walked along it myself, and I found it incredibly unpleasant to cycle on with how pedestrian-heavy and how poorly maintained it is in parts. As I have said before, the cycleway tag is for dedicated cycling infrastructure. This is definitely not that. |

121297152 | about 3 years ago | I visited the area last Friday, and here are the two signs I was referring to: https://imgur.com/a/eOMThng. It's not super clear if the sign on the east end refers to the bridge or the path under the bridge (or maybe just to the base in the queuing area for the road crossing), and I sent DCR an email asking what they meant by that. The reason this pedestrian bridge is more gentle than the other ones is because it was designed to be friendly to people with wheelchairs and similar challenges with walking. |
121297152 | about 3 years ago | To quote the highway=cycleway Wiki page: "The highway=cycleway tag indicates a separate way for the use of cyclists. [...] Ways that are not marked as cycleway by traffic signs (and are therefore open to non-bicycle traffic, e.g., moped or horse) should typically be tagged as highway=path instead of highway=cycleway". Ideally tagging multi-use paths as highway=path would head off edit wars between the people who see ways more as footways and those that see them as cycleways and those that see them as bridleways (not that there are people riding horses on the Esplanade, but they're relevant in places like Bradley Palmer SP). |

113347512 | over 3 years ago | Yeah, I picked minor/unclassified for that portion of 300 South because it looks like a low speed road but the only stop sign along that stretch is at Center. If you think that tertiary would work better, then go for it! It's definitely borderline between tertiary and unclassified. |
111518252 | over 3 years ago | Ugh, I had been checking for fragments before creating new relations, but I missed that one. Also, it's the old one that has NH in the ref, not the one I made. I'll go ahead and delete the incomplete and mistagged one tonight. |
118080328 | over 3 years ago | I didn't realize that Millcreek put in grade-separated cycleways here! Do you know how long ago it was? Last I heard the idea was controversial, but I guess they must have went for it. |
