Hi X86355, and welcome to OpenStreetMap!

This appears to be a revert of changeset 157648697. When we revert others' mapping work, it's important to notify the original mapper via changeset comment. Otherwise, we end up with edit wars, and the reverted work may end up being reinstated.

Hi there! Happy to see a fellow Hoosier on here.

I see that a few roadways have had the cardinal directions in their names abbreviated. On OSM, we typically don't use abbreviations for this sort of thing, or else navigation apps might tell people to "turn right on East Nine Hundred Ess". Shouldn't they have kept the full spelling?

Hi, Clifford. I hadn't heard about this tag being deprecated. I had been using railway=facility for years, not for any real semantic purposes, but to discourage other mappers from using another invalid value of railway=*, in this case railway=station. A public_transport=stop_area relation should not have railway=station, especially if one of its members is already tagged that way.

In case it wasn't clear, the names that have been changed here are "E Navigation Street" and "W Navigation Street". These should remain unabbreviated.

Hi there 👋

I noticed that some streets were changed here so that the cardinal directions in the names are now abbreviated. On OSM, we generally avoid abbreviations in names (see [1]) - otherwise, text-to-speech engines wouldn't be able to distinguish between a cardinal direction and a literal letter (like "Avenue E"). Could you please return these to their unabbreviated forms?

My bad, thanks for pointing it out. Reverted here: osm.org/changeset/165441674

I only noticed this because railmap.gl was picking up on the different name, ignoring operator:wikidata. It doesn't matter to me which one, but IMO we should choose one name or the other and tag everything accordingly.
