Hi zmoore!
- Your imagery_used tag says " Mapbox Satellite", which shows no sign of two-way traffic.
- You didn't mention any other data sources

On what basis did you remove the oneway restriction from Albee Square?

Thanks, jmapb

Thanks for finding all these in a single changeset! I suspect they may all be bogus locations but I haven't been able to survey any of the supposed locations in person yet.

Hi rivermont, thanks for adding this building -- you're fast!

I've added the height and building ID tags from the NYC dept of buildings, and standardized the address tags. Addresses in NYC generally lack city, state, and country, and instead simply have housenumber, street, and postcode. This has been the common standard here since the building and address import in 2013.

It's not wrong to add the other tags of course... but if you do, note that the addr:city tag value here would be "Brooklyn". The value of "New York" is only used within the borough of Manhattan.

Happy mapping, J

If the building will still be using that address (1487 Broadway) it's better keep the node there and just remove the tags specific for the cafe. Otherwise we lose the fact that this address is associated with this building.

(This issue usually only comes up for corner buildings with an address on two streets, or for large muti-address buildings. Most others have address tags directly on the building itself.)

Anyway I've resurrected this node and left just the base address tags from the original building import, all good.

Happy mapping. j

Hi ept -- what's up with these nonsense changeset comments?

73730320 almost 6 years ago

Hi, I believe from survey that this restaurant is 100% vegetarian, so the tag diet:vegetarian=only is correct. Is this untrue?

Howdy AV... is this place just closed (ie, it might reopen as something else) or actually gone (ie,the building's been reconfigured without this storefront, or replaced with a new building altogether?)

HI noneck, I've reverted this changeset with changeset 73958224. It looks like you were trying to add crosswalk info but accidentally modified the subway line.

73011657 almost 6 years ago

I've reverted in changeset 73931493. If there are still routing issues here, please let me know and we'll figure it out! J

osm.org/way/60942164 really is =destination for motor vehicles -- It's not a public road but people can drive to the end of that segment and unload supplies for the picnic areas to the east. (I suppose =yes or =permissive would also work, but =destination feels most correct to me.)

Motor vehicles can't go any further than that -- but people and bicycles can, and this is the primary use of the remainder of the road, though it can be used by vehicles with a permit. (Same with the other service roads around Litchfield Villa)

Then there are the roads within the park forestry complex (44 West Drive), which are completely off limits except to park personnel.

So it really is a mix of different access types. I'm not sure what weird results you were seeing, but here's what I'm seeing now: https://imgur.com/a/bw931DK
The destination is valid, but the route is completely impossible. The correct route would be right on 8th St, right on 8th Ave, right on 3rd St, right on Prospect Park West, and then left into the park.

I'm planning to revert these access changes when I get a moment. J

Great, I know some real estate developers around here are using some pretty hip names these days but I guess NYCHA's still a little more conservative!

Hi Zverik -- You've changed a few service roads here to access=destination with the source listed as "Juno provider traces" but I don't see any sign of Juno activity on these roads.

Last I surveyed here all of these were signed as authorized vehicles only -- has this changed? J

Hi MustafaD, and welcome to OpenStreetMap!

Question for you -- you seem to be naming everything you add in Manhattan some variation on "Manhattan Simit&Simit" -- two supermarkets in this changeset and also this cafe:
osm.org/node/6711055485

Offhand this seems odd that all of these things would have the same name... is this maybe a mistake?

73357789 almost 6 years ago

Hi Korzun, I see you changed the name of this NYCHA project from Ingersoll Houses to subTtile -- is this a mistake?

73285420 almost 6 years ago

Hi r_c -- I'm guessing the location of this bar is off? Probably should be somewhere around here: osm.org/node/6704294378#map=19/40.69704/-73.93470

(Looks like there's a brand new building there that hasn't been mapped yet... so much for "Old Timers"!)

FYI I reverted the zip code to 11206. These guys have it wrong on their website -- 10221 isn't even a valid zip code!

72996073 about 6 years ago

Hi Daniel, regarding osm.org/node/4564264140 -- this is not a shop, it's a disused restaurant.

72990083 about 6 years ago

Howdy red_clover -- just FYI I already added these Brooklyn Brainery locations as office=skill_share:

osm.org/node/2568710165
osm.org/node/5523676314

I made that tag up, and I think it's decent... If you want to tag these as schools (which certainly makes some sense), go for it. But better to add that tag to the existing nodes rather than create new ones.

Happy mapping, J

Hi again Timothy... in this changeset there are two fast-food amenities that you assigned brand info to:

osm.org/node/5742310959
osm.org/node/5676615651

These are independent establishments, not related to the chain restaurants indicated by the brand tags you added.

There's also another case of a Rite Aid convenience store containing a pharmacy ( osm.org/node/5203205583 ). Its signed name is "Rite Aid Pharmacy" (no Wallgreen's this time.) You've renamed it to just "Rite Aid" and you've changed the enclosing store from a convenience store to a chemist.

I understand that these are suggestions being made by iD's overzealous attempts to "upgrade" map features with brand info, overriding surveyed info. In some cases these are improvements, but this button makes it very easy to add incorrect information to the map. For some features -- banks and accountants, eg -- it's probably pretty safe. For restaurants and fast food, I'd ask you to verify first that the place in question is part of the chain. And I'm obviously not too fond of assumptions that it makes about drug stores and pharmacies!

Sorry for the rant. As usual, please contact or leave a map note if there's something that doesn't make sense or needs a local survey. Thanks, Jason

72438930 about 6 years ago

No prob... I agree it's a little weird but there are several around.

There are also Duane Reade stores with a Wallgreens Pharmacy inside ( eg osm.org/way/617474312 ) but that makes a little more sense because they're owned by the same company.

Please feel free to contact me if there's anything in the future like this that doesn't seem to make sense (or just leave a map note.)

Happy mapping. J
