Hi echoecho123,

You keep renaming Ewing street to Husted street.
The imagery of mapillary is quite clear:

Also Bing:

OSM is based on a very sound principle:
1. Ground truth
2. Verifiability

If there is a street with a name visible on a street sign, we have to accept that as the proper name.
Anybody checking such a street would reach the same conclusion.

If you insist on adding Husted st., you could do so by adding alt_name=Husted street.
(We know that in the past this street was indeed Husted st., but was renamed around 1920 to Ewing street.
OSM is a map of todays world, not that of the past).

But before you can do such a thing:
You must contact us for extended discussion at: data@openstreetmap.org with Ticket#2022031310000062 as you subjectline.
