Note that predirectionals are used for purposes other than disambiguation. In this case, for wayfinding.

166604149 7 months ago

The predirectional should be used if reported by county GIS. In this case, South Grand Central Parkway is correct.

That is troubling and I am sorry to hear that. However, many of the driveways that you removed were already tagged as private, reflecting reality. It is unlikely that bikers are trespassing due to the presence of properly marked driveways on the map.

I ask that you restore the driveways you deleted and add the proper access designation to them (access=private) if it is not already present. OpenStreetMap is not responsible for misuse of its data by downstream consumers. Please note that the absence of driveways on the map encourages armchair mappers (without local knowledge) to add the driveways again based on satellite photography without knowledge of the access restrictions, which can have the opposite of the intended effect. On the other hand, properly marked private driveways can assure bicyclists that they are not allowed on the routes without permission from the property owner. This system is set up to protect property rights while also maintaining an accurate dataset.

If you need assistance reverting the deletions in this changeset, I would oblige. If you would like additional explanation as to why we don't delete roads on private property, the OpenStreetMap Wiki is a good reference. osm.wiki/Why_we_won%27t_delete_roads_on_private_property

Do none of these homes have a driveway as mapped?

We have long understood the flaw in the software you use for course design. Have the developer fix the tool instead of making wrong edits to the map. OSM doesn't use splines, but polygons, by the way. Knowingly making wrong edits to the map is vandalism. I will ask you just once to under no circumstances add "lollipops" to the map. I am happy to have any number of other users and/or mods reiterate the same if you won't take it from me.

Don't lollipop features in the first place. The solution to flaws in your golf tool is not to damage data quality for everyone else for any length of time.

OSM doesn't use legal classifications because they are different in every state. Treating them the same is comparing apples to oranges. The population/amenity based definition means that a place=city in Saskatchewan means roughly the same thing as in Louisiana. I'm sorry you don't like it.

This is how it works on OSM.

When was the parking lot torn down?

Galleria Drive is never South or Southwest. It is West all the way to Russell.

building=terrace and building:part=house for individual units would be more appropriate here since the units aren't stacked

The official map calls the larger track the "Road Track" and the smaller one the Slick/Rookie Track. Do signs on site indicate otherwise?

149292266 7 months ago

I think you mixed up the Rookie and Slick tracks at Wahooz

Ok, place=village would suffice then

165786259 8 months ago

Starbase lacks the amenities and population to be considered a place=town

Change to place=hamlet

Understood. OSM is not a business directory. It only maps physical features. Your business is not suitable for inclusion unless it has a physical office where customers may visit. As the only physical presence here is the mailbox rental service, only it is suitable for inclusion.

Hello Sorem,

Thank you for adding your business to OpenStreetMap. There are a few issues with your edit:

-The name should not be all caps.
-The description is not to be used for ad copy.
-Images should be of the feature only, not company logos.

You added a unit number to the feature 3707. I see it on your website too. However, each office in the building has a different address number, and I know that no suite numbers are in use at this location. Can you explain? I notice the person adding the listing for the previous tenant used a different, non-existent suite number (1515).

The actual address is in Garden City, not Boise.

This is less an issue and more an improvement. There is an existing node for the 9169 address. The map currently has a law office at this address. Visiting their website revealed the location is no longer listed. I have replaced the listing with yours.

I fixed all issues listed. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

access=permissive and/or ownership=private would be more accurate

This is a private residence, not an office open to the public. OSM is not a business directory, so this listing will not be included.
