Hi, I'm wondering about this change. 1) construction is still ongoing through the fall, right? So the construction tags should remain. 2) the US doesn't have a specific legal designation of "living street", but the definition on wikipedia ("a street designed primarily with the interests of pedestrians and cyclists in mind and as a social space where people can meet and where children may also be able to play legally and safely") doesn't seem to fit the design of Nicollet Mall very well--the road itself is mainly for buses and bikes, not pedestrians.

Hi, can you give more explanation about what these memorials are? I don't see them on any imagery and don't find them mentioned anywhere online. Is there some documentation or explanation that you can point to? OSM best practices include "map what's on the ground" and "verifiability" osm.wiki/Good_practice I made a similar comment on another changeset under username Libby012 but received no reply. Without more information, this starts to look like vandalism. Thanks in advance for your help in clarifying.

Welcome to OSM and thanks for adding detail to the map! A couple tips: 1) in the iD editor, you can right click on a shape to get a context menu. One of these is "square" which is really useful for buildings. 2) you've added some park features where it seems like wood or forest tag would be better. 3) you've added water features in some places that seem odd. Some of the water is swimming pools which also have their own tag, but other things you added seem to be in the middle of driveways, lawns, etc? Let me know if you have questions. Thanks again for contributing!

Hi and welcome to OpenStreetMap! I noticed in this edit you tagged these businesses landuse=retail, but it would be better to tag them building=retail, and also add other tags to describe their business (such as shop=car_parts and amenity=pharmacy). Thanks for adding to the map!

Hi karitotp, this is a case where it might've been nice for you to leave a changeset comment or contact the user who created these features--it is a new user who seems to work in this area, but who maybe could've done a better job tagging etc. Cheers

The bay inside the Grand Marais lighthouse is already tagged as water as part of Lake Superior--is there a reason you added a new water feature there?

I am constantly learning new details too! :) There is an effort to move to a different tagging scheme for transit, so that doesn't make it any easier. The new scheme distinguishes between the bus stop location where one waits (public_transport=platform) and the place where the bus stops on the road network (public_transport=stop_position) which is a bit overkill for my taste but YMMV. Re the TC bus stops, tags with the metcouncil: prefix can probably stay--there is some useful info in there, although it may get stale. I think there was widespread agreement that TIGER import included a lot of extraneous tags that could now be deleted. I don't know if you subscribe to any mailing lists or follow forums or anything, but one great way to keep up with the wider world of OSM stuff is http://weeklyosm.com/

Hi, it's not clear what this memorial is--I can't see anything in imagery and don't find any mention of it online. Can you give some clarification about it or a source? Thanks

I see that you've added local_ref to some of the bus stops, but it seems like you're using it incorrectly. According to the wiki (osm.wiki/Key:local_ref) local_ref should be used to tag one platform within a station. You are using it for the bus route numbers, which are already present in the route_ref tag.

Hi, I'm wondering why you changed the Union Depot relation from type=site to type=building? It clearly includes many features that are in addition to the building, not to mention the main building itself has its own relation (6894450). The wiki page on site relation may be a helpful reference: osm.wiki/Relations/Proposed/Site

Hi, thanks for putting in the effort to trace these buildings of the old Ford Plant. However, these have all been demolished (thus the brownfield landuse surrounding the site) and it'd be great if you could remove these edits. For reference, see eg https://www.stpaul.gov/departments/planning-economic-development/planning/ford-site-21st-century-community/site-demolition

Hi and welcome to OSM! Is there a particular reason you added the landuse=recreation_ground tag to the whole park? It seems redundant at best.

Welcome to OSM! I noticed that in at least some of the places where you added sidewalks, you did not connect them to other features that were already on the map (such as streets or other sidewalks). For things like routing, this is important. On the other hand, it is not important to connect sidewalks to other features like park boundaries. Happy mapping!

Hi, looking at the Amery Golf Club (osm.org/relation/7145495) I think you've misunderstood golf course tagging. Most importantly, you do not need to create that include all features in a golf course--the outline of leisure=golf_course should surround all these features. And even if you did have a relation, you wouldn't want to make the features within "inner" relations, because that means that they are "holes" in the course--that is, places that are NOT part of the golf course (which they all are). One last thing: greens should not be tagged leisure=pitch, this I believe was some "tagging for the renderer". See osm.wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dgolf_course for more info. As that page says, it is helpful to add a way for golf=hole which includes the hole number in the ref tag. This link may help to review your tagging: http://product.itoworld.com/map/47?lon=-92.37148&lat=45.30202&zoom=15&open_sidebar=share_menu (note: may be slow to load) Happy mapping!

Hi, thanks for adding to the map in Minnesota. Just an FYI, this area is St. Paul, you might want to double-check your changeset comments in the future to make sure they're accurate! :)

Hi, and welcome to OSM! Happened to notice this edit and have a couple suggestions: 1) this is not the right tag for a business, highway=services is used for rest areas. Maybe shop=car_repair would be better? 2) OSM is generally for what is "on the ground", but there are lifecycle prefixes that can be used for features that are planned/proposed/under construction. See osm.wiki/Lifecycle_prefix

Hi, welcome to OSM! I noticed in this changeset you tagged parking lots with highway=service. You should only tag the actual lanes within the lot that way. Also, you tagged some churches with religion=* and denomination=*. Just leave these blank if you don't know. One last thing, landuse is not usually used on buildings. You can find more info about it on the wiki's landuse page: osm.wiki/Landuse Happy mapping!

Hi from looking at the aerial imagery, it doesn't appear there is a pond or park at this location. Do you have an explanation? Thanks

I noticed your very detailed work on the golf course--nice! However, it's tagging for the renderer to use highway=path for the golf=hole way.

1) it looks clearly parceled to me--have you looked at the Bing imagery? 2) I live in this area and know a lot of community gardens, they are run *as described on the allotments page*. Unless you have some local knowledge to the contrary please change the garden's tag back. Thanks.
