The East and West suffixes in Regina are a bit odd. Some of the city's official address sources use the, but there is not a single road sign in the entire city with East or West written on it.

My fav tool for straightening roads is the "L" key in JOSM. If you select a string of nodes pressing L will make a straight line of them, so you only need to align the first and last one. A huge help when alley intersections cause a road to start getting wavey. Just have to be careful to not accidentally select building or bus stop nodes.

School / playground zone roads should also have the tag below for outside school hours:
maxspeed:conditional=50 @ (17:00-07:00)

or maxspeed:conditional=30 @ (7:00-17:00), if maxspeed=50. There doesn't appear to be a preference for which way.

If you submit a request at: http://open.regina.ca/ there's a pretty good chance they will generate a dataset with all the speed limits / school & playground zones for the city.

The imagery used to add the roads is offset from the imagery used for the building footprints resulting in many buildings being placed on top of alleys. GPS traces of the area would be helpful in determining which imagery is correct.

Only the golf course outline itself should be tagged with leisure=golf_course. Adding it to all the other features such as fairways has created a huge mess of icons on the map.

No its not, it is permanently closed.

Is this Sask work being coordinated as part of a group? If so you should suggest that they use the Maxar imagery instead of Bing. The Bing imagery for rural areas is about 4 years old, and the Maxar imagery appears to be from 2019.

Adding more traffic lights :) There were another 4 or 5 intersections that were supposed to get lights this year, but were skipped due to the Victoria Ave project dragging on.

That might work. I never tried applying tracktype to anything other than a track.

Seems to me it would have better leaving the dirt roads as tracks. They are impassable when wet and not maintained in winter which is why I tagged them differently to help prevent people from getting stranded as I've seen people forced to abandon their vehicles and walk out.

I managed to get those pretty close from just my bicycle gps. Nice to see there is finally some updated rural satellite imagery. The bing stuff is probably 5 years old.

When I was adding admin boundaries to a few cities I used an Overpass Turbo query for a quick overview of which larger centers were missing them. The boundaries are usually admin level 8 so my query missed the existing Yorkton one set to level 6. I'll double check I didn't add any other duplicates.

Once and a while I'll look at the Regina area using the KeepRight validation tool to spot anything amiss. https://www.keepright.at/report_map.php?zoom=12&lat=50.3297&lon=-104.9713

The last editor of the way field doesn't necessarily indicate the user who introduced the problem.

I think for the close but no connect errors, where there shouldn't be a connection (such as parking aisles ending at a curb), a noexit=yes tag will satisfy the validator.

Too bad they only update the imagery inside the city. You can see the airbrushed border where it switches to older images, so no bypass. I can usually get the roads pretty close from my bike gps alone, parking lots are little less accurate.

Personally I would have just omitted the addr:city tag as most roads don't have it anyway. Victoria Plains is an old settlement that no longer exists. That area is in the RM of Sherwood, not within City of Regina border. Also Saskatchewan is spelled incorrectly.

A lot of the water that is on the satellite imagery for this area is intermittent at best, and after 2 very dry years is mostly gone. There are large scale ongoing drainage projects SW of Regina that should prevent much of the water from ever returning.

That does not exist.

I see Victoria Plains is in the NRC Canvec dataset as a place=locality which would be a more suitable tag. OSM wiki indicates it is for former settlements where none of the structures remain. That way they wouldn't be given the same labeling prominence on the map as currently occupied suburbs.

What's up with the suburb names in places with no suburbs?
