I'm guessing this is a playground associated with PS 41. You could map it as leisure=playground. Sometimes school-adjacent playgrounds are open to the public, but I don't think this one is, so it would be good to add access=private and maybe draw in the fence.

Happy 2021 Solongago -- I'm doing some work around Sundown and was looking at this way: osm.org/way/20224768

You added "Red Bush" as an alt_name tag and I'm wondering -- is this just a conversion of the name_1 tag from the TIGER import, or do you have additional info that this name is in use for this road?

Personally I've found no trace of Red Bush Road on any signs or in any records, and I'd be inclined to use Sundown Road as the alt_name because it's used as the address of some of the parcels around here: https://ulstercountyny.gov/maps/parcel-viewer/?mapX=-8286411.733054578&mapY=5144183.926214974&zoom=17&basemap=UCParcels

Let me know what you think, thanks, J

Hi there POB!

When closing a POI that's combined with an address node, please consider removing the outdated tags and leaving the addr:* tags in place, instead of simply deleting the node. Especially if that address isn't mapped elsewhere in the building. That way we won't lose the address info.

(I've already restored this one.)

Thanks, jmapb

Good catch, not sure if it was somehow human error or a bug in Go Map!! but it looks like the "addr:housenumber=758" tag was replaced with "opening_hour=758". Fixed now.

Hi George, thanks for adding these old roads!

For these sorts of roads, "old road" is better tagged as a description than a name, so they can be differentiated from roads that really are named "Old Road" like osm.org/way/20702555

Thanks, Jason

Gotcha. Too bad, nice park.
I see the semi-official interactive map ( https://aqueduct.org/interactive-map ) shows the trail bypassing the catty-corner Nelson Sitting Park as well. I wonder what's up with that.

Was the OCA rerouted along the sidewalk instead of going through Nelson Park?

Hello Teslanyc, welcome to OpenStreetMap! I just noticed this change you made in Lief Ericson Park, in particular the portion here:
osm.org/way/185022030
Has this been changed to a water park? It doesn't look like it on satellite, and it's not mentioned on the park's website.

Thanks for the reply. I recently spent a lot of time on those bridges in particular, and it does feel a little harsh to have them bulk-reclassified from remote, whether it's you or Fluffy doing it. (You can see my brief conversation with Fluffy in changeset 88278035.)

Part of *this* changeset has already been reverted in 93876737, and I'll be working on the bridges.

In the future I'd appreciate it you could make smaller changesets with more informative comments, and with sources listed. And possibly consider discussing with local mappers beforehand.

Thanks, J

Hi there Roadsguy ... I see you've been recalssifying some roads. What's your source for this info?

Hi hhsnow, I was mapping in the area and saw the ford you added here: osm.org/node/7593178321

I don't see any evidence on satellite that the track in question ( osm.org/way/20083789 ) still exists, and in fact the course of the West Kill seems to have shifted significantly as well.

Is there actually a track here, with a ford across the West Kill? I'm wondering because I suspect that possibly the original track was imported in error and that the ford may have been added to mollify a map editor warning about crossing roadway and waterway.

No worries -- I can't speak for the changes you made in NJ but I settled on highway=trunk for both the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges, since they're limited access but not exactly high speed (far from it.)

Cheers, J

People call the bus or the route Q20. The place for that info is the network or route_ref tag. Nobody calls the stop itself Q20, they say, to paraphrase you, "the Q20 stops here."

The stops have names. They're written on the poles and shelters, they're used in spoken announcements, and they're listed on the info screens of busses that are equipped with them. See links below.

Should the default OSM map render the bus routes at bus stops, instead of the stop names? Maybe so. Personally that's a change I wouldn't mind seeing. But it's no reason to put the data in incorrect fields. This is "tagging for the renderer" and it's against the basic principles of OSM.

If you want to suggest a change to the default OSM rendering of bus stop names, open an issue at the CartoCSS github page: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto

Regarding the footways, if you could reply to my comment here that would keep the discussion cleaner: osm.org/changeset/88000411

This isn't a matter of style or opinion -- NYC bus stops have names (mostly named after the intersection they're nearest) and those names go in the "name" tag. The names of the bus routes that stop there should be under the "network" tag (older tagging) or under the "route_ref" tag (newer tagging).

What you're doing is the same as naming a subway station "A" because the A train stops there. It's simply incorrect.

...While we're talking, can you explain all the deleted footways and service roads?

Hi Tylerchill, would you please stop changing the names of bus stops to match the names of the bus routes? This isn't correct, and several different people have politely advised you about this. Thanks, J

Hi Fluffy, wondering what definition you're using for trunk here. The wiki just says that hw=trunk is for "high performance or high importance roads that don't meet the requirement for motorway" and that the criteria vary from country to country, and within the USA from state to state.

Are you basing your changes on a different definition?

Hi there... you seem to have deleted lots of footways that I created, and as far as I can tell they're still real. Is this is mistake? Is there something I'm not understanding here?

HI foreverwild, I'm doing some trail mapping in the Catskills and was wondering what the source is for the name "Yellow Connector Trail" for osm.org/way/426363924
Thanks, J

Ok thanks for getting back -- looks like it was fixed 8 months ago! Cheers
