Why did you delete the preexisting building? It had valuable tags that you did not preserve. Please be more careful when editting.

There was a better footprint of this building already existing, so I deleted yours.

It seems as though you deleted a building and then added a part of it back. Is this what you intended to do?

Thanks, even if it was forced! The houses look good.

I think the "unmaintained" may be something that shows up on the iD editor only and is not necessary for a track. They are generally defined as being used for agricultural/forest maintenance, which I think is reasonable for fire road.

Also if you look at the tracktype wiki: osm.wiki/Key:tracktype the different grades represent different amounts of maintenance.

If you don't object, I'll change these ones back.

I'm not a fan of the change to service roads for fire roads. I agree that it is a hard call, but the wiki, which represents general consensus, states that tracks are generally for access for jeeps and tractors. I've been on these fireroads and I would really drive on them with a normal vehicle. The wiki also doesn't say anything about unmaintained.

I'm glad you're actually on the ground mapping! I have less time than I want to hike and have been trying to assemble most of the MST via various sources, with some hope of doing a big hike sometime in the future.

Strava is an app for recording running/bicycling and they produce a map of gps points from people using the apps. It is very handy for aligning trails that are popular among users of the app. Some parts of the MST are pretty well trod, while this section is fairly spotty.

Hi, Thanks for adding these to the MST relation. I added the trails based on Strava heatmap from this site: http://labs.strava.com/routing-errors/#250/16/-81.60945/36.17421. Most of the trails had several gps traces, so I think they are relatively accurate. Obviously, they could be double/triple checked.

Is there a bridge there, now? If so, feel free to add it.

36860414 over 9 years ago

and maybe highway=living_street for the main roads?

36860414 over 9 years ago

Just a note here, there is technically access for motor vehicles, as there are service vehicles that use some of these roads. Would motor_vehicle=private be accurate?

It's wonderful that you are adding crossings to OSM, these data can be quite useful. However, note that it is optimal for use of the data if the crossings are better integrated with other data.

Please, when adding crossing make sure they connect to the street they are crossing. This will better allow routing software to inform users that they are crossing a street and identify its name.

Good job, welcome to OSM!

I just wanted to note that I changed the geometry on a trail here. I found this trail from the Strava bugs site. One thing I note with the slide tool is that it will over smooth sharp trail turns such as switchbacks. It's not a big deal, but something to look out for when you use your tool.

The sidewalk added along Cleveland Avenue was actually part of the electric system.

7509071 almost 10 years ago

Sorry, that should have read "wasn't listed in the NHD conversion tool.

7509071 almost 10 years ago

These must have been an unusual tag like basin that was listed in the NHD conversion tool. It doesn't look like an obvious water feature so I deleted both the relation and the outer way. There was another nearby that I also deleted. If you come across any similar that have water as an inner way, you should be safe deleting the outer way and multipolygon.

This changeset seems unnecessary. Oneway=no is not needed as the default is no. Also, why did you make two little highways at the end of Campus Walk?

34253205 almost 10 years ago

Hi, Welcome to OSM and thanks for helping to make the map better! Your first edits look greatl

A couple of minor points.

1. Make sure that you connect roads to other roads. for example, Tummel lane and Hilltop Needmore Extension do not connect with the roads that they end nearby.

2. Watch your classifications of roads. I don't know these roads, but, usually, short roads like these that have houses on them should be classified as residential. Secondary and primary highways are usually long distance between town roads or main roads in cities.

You'll be surprised how a little bit of work will make the map for your area better than any other online map. If you have any questions about how to map check out help.openstreetmap.org/help for resources or ask another mapper. I'd be happy to help.
