Based on that information, I’ve switched it to ele:ft. I’ve done that for the following reasons.
1) The ele key is meant for the elevation of the object in meters. This value is not for the sign, but for the written contents.
2) The proposal said that ele:ft should be deprecated. That implies that it’s not deprecated yet, and it is used elsewhere. The unit is explicit, and easy to write.
3) It’s fairly common for editors in various operating systems to turn ASCII quotes to one of the various curly quotes. People also have a tough time remembering whether ‘ or “ means feet. If you need a hilarious example, watch the movie “This is Spinal Tap” with the Stonehenge discussion.

Thanks for that information. I moved the bike locker information to the bike locker in this changeset. The disabled capacity seemed wrong based on satellite imagery. I couldn't find the bike racks, even when I went there last time. I couldn't find the meaning of kiss_n_rid, and 0 didn't have meaning in my mind.

I'll look into adding loading_zn information, but I'll try to map it to more appropriate tags. I'll try to look into that later, perhaps today or tomorrow.

That's a fair point. I had not considered that view. The description of the key at ele=* says that the value is in meters. So the value seems invalid in that regard. Other objects use this value to note the elevation of the tagged object and not the contents of the sign. So what would you suggest from these options?
1) Leave it as is.
2) Revert it to the previous value.
3) Remove the tag because the value on the sign probably shouldn't be represented as this tag.
4) Convert the value on the sign to meters.

I was matching the same relationship style as the California and Santa Clara County subarea relationship.

I thought they were play structures or temporary sun shades. After reviewing the streetside view, they do look like permanent roofs. I've added roofs that seem to exist in the most recent imagery.

The topographic map is decent for names of trails and streams, but it tends to simplify a route and makes it too smooth. The GPS routes for roads and trails that I've seen traced provide a rough path, but they can easily be off under dense woods. For example, the vast majority of Mapillary routes are pretty good at being within a road route, but occasionally some routes go straight through homes and boulders. Some GPS routes waiver around a trail.

The USGS 3DEP routes align very well with the satellite imagery. It's pretty common to move a route to a perceived location with 3DEP, and when you cross check it with the satellite imagery, you can see the trail peeking out between the trees sometimes. So far so good.

The USGS 3DEP data can also highlight interesting cliffs, canyons and crevices in parks that look so flat and bland in satellite imagery.

That’s a fair point. I’ll try to resolve that this evening. Thanks.

Why did you switch these areas from wetlands to water features? I think the website at https://www.southbayrestoration.org/page/maps is much more accurate on the status of these areas than the course grained information in the USFWS. Did you get a chance to view that website listed in the notes?

When I edited this with the OpenStreetMap editor, it merged the points automatically. I assume that is the desired behavior, since the editor merged them. There were previously warnings about the points overlapping. The first attempted fix was to add layer values to each sign, but this merging seemed acceptable too.

When I looked at the documentation about signs on a pole, they should be on the same point. Here is that documentation: traffic_sign=*#Tagging

Separate signs should be separated by a semicolon and related parts of a sign should be separated by a comma.

This “tourist attraction” called a DUMP is of questionable accuracy. There is no path to it. It’s really hard to see it from satellite imagery or from the road. This is being removed. If it is a valid point of interest, please add it back with more information about what kind of attraction it is so that others understand what it really is and can navigate to it safely.

Good point. I've switched it to disused:shop=yes

I see that the hours for the park were updated. Unfortunately, the format of the provided open hours was invalid. The format was just fixed for the park with changeset/139775577. If you're using the web browser editor, you can click the "i" next to a field to see more information about that field. In this case, more information can be found here: opening_hours=*

Thanks for your contribution.

When I talked with a worker here, it sounded more like a collective of several religious organizations here. They are actually separate churches here *and* there are classrooms for the Academy. There's a Spanish speaking church here and an Ethiopian church here too. One of the rooms hosts mass for kids too. They host the main mass in the main building, and they have banners advertising the time of the services for each room. That sounds like different places of worship to me.

It's an unusual place. The Home Church expanded into the shopping center as the other businesses left. The Home Church is the main organization here managing most of the property, and a lot of the rooms are multi-purpose. Only the café and KFC are the businesses that are left here.

When I talked to a person that worked here, Second Harvest food distribution also happens on Friday mornings (https://www.thehomechurch.org/care-support/food-ministry), and Trail Life Troop 337 meet here.

I'd like to request that you not remove this part of my change because these rooms are separate places of worship. The offices to the south are not a place of worship. If you can clarify what you mean by "one church", maybe we can clarify the data so that there is less confusion. I was certainly confused when I first encountered this collective religious area that isn't really a shopping center.

Do you have a better source?

This segment is between a 50 MPH northbound speed limit sign north of Saratoga and a 35 MPH southbound speed limit south of CVS. This gap is ambiguous, especially since there are multiple lanes in each direction. This gap is also owned by San Jose as far as I know. There are several of these ambiguous areas in San Jose and Campbell. The worst is near Santana Row on Winchester due to speed limit signs that I can't find.

San Tomas Expressway. & Camden Avenue between Winchester and South Bascom are also ambiguous.

The park information has been updated with the confirmed information.

138643655 over 2 years ago

Yeah that source has the address. I’ll update the park accordingly later today.

138643655 over 2 years ago

Many other San Jose parks have parcel numbers and addresses in Santa Clara LAFCO. This park isn't one of them, and the references to this location show up as Kurte Park, Communications Hill without a numbered address. If you feel that it's a valid address, it would be helpful if you can cite an authoritative source of the address. If there were buildings there, they aren't there now.

138643655 over 2 years ago

I question the existence of the address. This parcel does not have an APN nor does it have an address according to Santa Clara LAFCO. These "buildings" do not exist on any satellite imagery available.

That's why I left the next segment below as is with its warnings and marked private access. That one to the south is wide enough for people to use without walking on the tracks. Though it's technically trespassing when used by the public. In this case, someone else also noticed that this path looks questionable, which I agreed with. I struggled to see the full path in the satellite imagery. It's very narrow in segments. So my basis of removing it is based on it actually existing. This isn't like the historical railroads where they have been completely removed (razed) with buildings on them. At least those existed at one point. This path seems more like wishful thinking based on the history than it being a real physical path.
