PS ... actually osm.org/node/2550057146 already changed to a craft shop, no longer disused

Howdy jhaluska80 -- I've just reverted this changeset in 156595039

A couple of things...
- Re "Think Ice Cream" that you deleted: When a business has closed, consider just removing its tags from the OSM feature (node 2550057146 in this case) rather than deleting the feature altogether. This allows us to maintain the history of locations. See osm.wiki/Keep_the_history ... and sometimes it might help to prepend a "disused:" prefix to the poi's primary tag (eg amenity=ice_cream -> disused:amenity=ice_cream) if the feature is still physically there but no longer doing business, see osm.wiki/Lifecycle_prefix

- Re the building footprints that you adjusted: In an area with mature(ish) mapping, remember that there's no guarantee that iD's default aerial imagery is better aligned than the existing mapped features. If you do feel there's sufficient reason to tweak buildings' alignment, please take care when the ones you're moving are attached to other buildings (very common in city blocks.) Otherwise the adjacent buildings will be distorted ( see the skewed footprints at https://overpass-api.de/achavi/?changeset=156461035 )

Thanks & happy mapping!

Just did some updates to the Drawing Center (osm.org/way/249664327) and noticed you'd added wheelchair=no... they do have steps but there's also a sidewalk-level entrance, and the website (https://drawingcenter.org/visit) claims they have "accessible galleries, bookstore, and restroom facilities"

Hi, thanks for adding the opening hours of the Drawing Center.

I was changing the hours into the standard format that we in OSM (documented at osm.wiki/Key:opening%20hours but the short version is that we use 24 hour time and two-letter day abbreviations) and I noticed a discrepancy between the hours you added and those listed on the Drawing Center's website.The website says they're open Thursdays but you wrote "Thursday Closed."

I used the info from the website, but is the website wrong?

I clearly remember seeing a "no motorcycles" rule in place at one time, but I haven't been able to find it since. Was this signed at the cemetery?

Thanks for adding this path: osm.org/way/1208651473

I just used it and saved a few minutes :)

(I also reopened the zoo!)

(changeset comment should have said "add address")

Howdy! On some intersection nodes eg osm.org/node/11455767273 you've added crossing=traffic_signals but I'm not sure that's correct. This tag shouldn't be used unless there's a walk signal for pedestrians. As far as I know this intersection just has stop signs, not signals.

Hi isakavya -- the tag "access:conditional=no @(Mo-Fr 07:00-13:00) 07:00-13:00)" on the segment osm.org/way/1268090833 that you created is badly formatted (mismatched parens).

Your changset comment "added restriction for board is only for buses" doesn't exactly make sense either -- are you trying to say that this entire block of Lexington is bus only for those hours? Perhaps you noticed a restriction sign for the bus lane and thought it applied to the entire roadway?

Thanks!

Nah they didn't have one posted at all, good catch, fixed

Great, let me know if you need any help, or eyes on the ground. Happy mapping!

Hi kguenther24!

I see you've been adding a lot of highway=pedestrian + area=yes polygons (& multipolygons) in downtown Brooklyn. Unfortunately the mapping methods you're using are causing errors in pedestrian routing. Examples:

- From Columbia Heights down to Squibb Park (osm.org/directions?engine=fossgis_osrm_foot&route=40.70077%2C-73.99523%3B40.70088%2C-73.99548#map=19/40.70089/-73.99528):
The route now follows the edge of osm.org/way/1257037956 instead of taking the long ramp down into the park.

- From Sands Street to the Manhattan Bridge walkway (osm.org/directions?engine=fossgis_osrm_foot&route=40.69988%2C-73.98712%3B40.70005%2C-73.98682): The route now follows osm.org/way/1262001717 (added in this changeset) and jumps from ground level directly up to the bridge. This bypasses the stairs, which is especially bad because it impacts wheelchair and bicycle routing. (Bicycles aren't actually allowed here at the moment, of course.)

Current screenshots are at https://jmapb.github.io/kguenther24/ in case the map changes before you read this.

The underlying issue seems to be that you're using highway=pedestrian + area=yes tags to describe the shape of sidewalks and other linear footways. This is incorrect tagging because area=yes should only be used on a highway area if it can be navigated omnidirectionally -- that is, when a traveler can meaningfully move in any direction and enter and exit the area at any point where it connects to other highways.

For linear (one way or two way) highways, you can use area:highway=* tags to map the area details. See osm.wiki/Tag:area:highway%3Dfootway for sidewalks and other footways, osm.wiki/Tag:area:highway%3Dsteps for stairs, and osm.wiki/Tag:area:highway%3Dpedestrian for linear pedestrian highways. These tags will allow the routing engines to process the highways as linear, which should keep these errors from happening.

Thanks, jmapb

Hi there! Looks like you disconnected the cycleway segment osm.org/way/1062089087 from the crosswalks at osm.org/node/6815003765 and osm.org/node/11766086963. Was this intentional?

Thanks, J

Hi George, I came to finally scout this 4-year-old note osm.org/note/2222572 but you beat me to the punch, congrats!

I noticed you left this small segment of Milla Drive: osm.org/way/20237460 -- was that intentional? I didn't see anything that would indicate that there's any road name around here other than Sun Mountain Road.

Hi snake21, what's the source for this only_straight_on relation? osm.org/relation/16640114

Well that's a fine question. I guess my instinct was to put the city department first, a la nycdoitt:bin. I've also used nycdoe:ref for schools. But I'm not married to these forms & happy to standardize on whatever folks think is best.

Is this really a no-smoking law office? ;)

From a road in Ulster County, no less! I'm tempted to say it's a Go Map bug but more likely it was human error, somehow? Thanks for the heads up.
