Forgot to mention: the "RackColor" tag should be replaced with the standardized tag "colour"

Adding another note. Bicycle parking does not generally need addresses; but if they are added, as they are here, they should be tagged with the standard address tags. For those who don't know, "CD" refers to council district; this tag is unnecessary as: 1, CD boundaries change; and 2, CD jurisdiction can be found because CD boundaries are already mapped. "LocID" is not necessary because the data is not useful to OSM, it may have been in the original data, but not here. LocName is also a non-standard tag that's relatively unnecessary, but it is at least interesting (though in some cases I've found, they are out of date, as they refer to businesses that no longer exist. "side" is a tag that would more appropriately refer to a node on a road, but is not useful here. ObjectID and other ID tags are also not very useful for OSM.
Unfortunately, this data is also, by now, 6 years out of date, and some of these racks no longer exist, as I found on Chatsworth and Sepulveda.
It's also not necessary to name bicycle parking. A bike rack does not need to be tagged with the name "bike rack", as this is redundant and can clutter the map; but this isn't too much of a problem.
This is an overall useful addition, though. It'll just need refining by other users.
This comment was originally added on the first related changeset/158603032 so that this info is available here.

The boundaries for the North HIlls East Neighborhood Council District are taken from the North Hills East Neighborhood Council website, not from the MappingLA project. These Neighborhood Councils are official entities under the municipal government of Los Angeles and are recognized as such by the City. I do not think this removal is justified as at least this particular boundary is neither unofficial, subjective, nor copyrighted.
This mass deletion of neighborhood boundaries appears to have been done too hastily, and a note or message in the OSM Wiki page for Los Angeles should have been made suggesting improvements or calling for better sources before such a massive change.

If this hasn't already been changed, I will make it a separate area rather than a relation to simplify it. Thank you.
