Hi,
I reviewed your edit, and thank you for your contribution! I went ahead and removed the rest of the information about the company from the node (phone number, name, website, etc.).

Thanks for the information!

Hi,
I'm confused as to why you added no left turns from 36th Street to Harrison. Is this a new traffic pattern that you surveyed? Your changeset description doesn't provide much information.

Hi,
The E branch only goes to Heath Street, and it's been that way since 1985. You must not have heard the news.

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!

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.

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.

To duplicate what I said in the DM so you stop accusing me of ignore you:
Last I checked (sometime in August) that way I removed (and I have several times against remote mappers) is merely a bidirectional bike lane. We do not tag unprotected bike lanes as separate ways in OpenStreetMap. The bike lane on this part of the Arborway is tagged on the road way appropriately.

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.

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.

Hi,
In Salt Lake City, we follow the "on the ground" rule for street names. Also, the "West" and "East" prefix are not posted on the ground and aren't traditionally considered part of the street name. The prefixes are already included in the "name:full" and "name:prefix" tags.

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.

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).

Hi,
There were signs saying that bikes must dismount at the Cambridge/Charles Street entrance to the bridge as of May 21st when I was in the area. Also there was a sign on the Esplanade side that said that all of the bridges require bikes to dismount (I believe on node 7788622598, but I could be misremembering the exact location). Also, highway=cycleway is for ways where bicycles have priority like the Causeway Street center bike lanes or the bike ways around Forest Hills station. Multiuse paths should be tagged as highway=path. Since this is a single-use way for pedestrians, highway=footway would also be acceptable.

Hi,
I've reviewed your changesets as you requested. I'm not sure how you made the decisions that you did when moving around the boundary for Bear Brook State Park? You've made it look less like the map that you cited (do you have permission to copy that by the way?), and it also doesn't line up with the property lines visible in aerial imagery. Do you have some other source like data from a circumambulation that you were using?

Sincerely,
aweech

Hi,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap, and thank you for your contributions! I've reviewed your edits, as you requested, and I made a few adjustments in the area. You had added some descriptions like "(Unkept looks abandoned)" to some name tags. We have a description tag for that sort of thing, and the name tag is for names. I ended up using the information in there and in your comments to improve or remove the ways. Thanks again!

Hi,
Yes, there's a bunch of reasons that unclassified works better here. Mostly because there's like 2 residences on it and most travelers with a destination on this road would be visiting the sanctuary. Also it's a through-road and it makes a pretty decent way to detour around Sharon center and not have too many cars around you (if you don't mind the hill!). I couldn't find a posted speed limit, which means it's probably the state default of 40 mph, not exactly residential speeds.

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.

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.
