This revert didn't completely work: relation/9230315

Check capitalization on "FIfth" Street

Why add the tag at all? It should be assumed on any two-lane road unless tagged oneway=yes

addr:* tags shouldn't be used on streets, only features with an actual address

This doesn't seem very useful.

Someone has reverted your change changeset/152500638

Meridian has over 130,000 people. That alone ought to qualify it as a city.

My comment was meant to be terse, not rude. I think it is better to use that time to add new data to the map.

All of the paths removed in this changeset that I looked at appear to exist, based on aerial and street photos.

A principle of OpenStreetMap is that you can map anything that is verifiable. So someone decided to map this one area in detail. There is nothing wrong with that. It is the role of the data consumer to filter unwanted data.

You should provide some sort of evidence that these paths don't exist, otherwise someone else may map them again, using the aerial photo as a source.

The GIS site uses Google as a basemap. Google also uses TIGER data for names and geometry. This is why it shows up there as well.

No such thing as "overmapping". Ther are valid reasons to map sidewalks along streets or even building walk-ups. Please revert this changeset.

You can get them on occasion from City Council packets, but I get preliminary plats from https://apps.adacounty.id.gov/adafilebrowse/default.aspx?dept=Assessor&name=StreetNameFinal and final plats from the plat book, which is published here: https://adacountyassessor.org/docs/subdivisionplats/

Some of these aren't in stores, despite the branch name. That is the problem.

This is how I'd do it—not sure if the building itself needs access and wheelchair tags though

Suffixes were not properly expanded, such as way/636397822

You did not properly expand the street suffixes. See, for example, way/311702540

You did not properly expand the suffixes. See, for example, way/470414718

No Patrick, Burger King is not a state. way/719066610/history/3

I have fixed a half dozen bad values of addr:state added from ATP data. What's weird is that the website gives the right state. Maybe the web spider has a bug. (Ha.)

I admire your dedication. It is far easier to find preliminary and final plats in Ada County.

Where do you get plats for Middleton?

Worth noting that some other cities have regional consensus to name sidewalks, so make sure to keep an eye on them if you decide to map elsewhere.
