I am using the tax assessor in some of my other changes to confirm that the street name is correct and that the addresses near a given street are wrong. The tax assessor is financially motivated in accurate addresses to send tax bills, and it's a public record. It's not perfect, but it's an additional data point.

It also helps with putting an address within a bounding box. It's also a good source of alternate street names that may not be consistently used on the street signs.

I use it as an additional data point to confirm that all of the data is consistent. In this specific case, it's not as important as the street sign. There have been some interesting typos and confirmation of oddities found by using multiple data sources.

Well the sign on the street still says "Del" and the San Jose GIS website has both. Also all of the nearby addresses use "Del". The San Jose GIS data has it lower cased *and* title cased. At minimum, I'm going with what the street sign says, which I'm assuming the department of transportation installed at the corner.

Actually, the Cupertino GIS says that the Santa Clara Tax assessor information about the property with the Westminester address is actually Westminster like the rest of the addresses. So this is confirmed to be correct by the Cupertino GIS information.

Actually, this is the Vista del Lago Condominiums. I find the current addr:housenumber values to be very suspect. The Santa Clara County Tax Assessor disagrees with the current addr:housenumber values assigned to these buildings. The area is divided into 4 main addresses at 121,151 Buckingham Drive and 120,150 Saratoga Avenue. Each of those main addresses have multiple addr:unit values.

None of the buildings seem to be apartments. They seem to be townhouses in the Vista del Lago Condominium complex. From a taxing and ownership perspective, that's an important distinction.

I recommend checking out this website for the scope of the area in question. https://www.remax.com/homes-for-sale/ca/santa-clara/vista-del-lago-condominiums/neighborhood/1012382

Never mind, it looks like you already reverted it.

Actually it does both common values (black) and supported values (blue). Since there is disagreement, I'll revert this change.

Yes I’m aware of that.

It's likely that the documentation is out of sync with the editor. The OpenStreetMap iD editor provides state as a valid value.

This issue is typically highlighted as "Similar values national and regional in flag:type=national;regional". This isn't an issue when it's using the less ambiguous "flag:type=national;state".

I left the multilingual names for the New Concept Academy for the main office, but I refined the academy information in this changeset: changeset/144705679

The website says that it's located in suite 215. I visited the site, and it contains 3 rooms according to the doors, and 215 seems to be the main office. The other rooms were changed to classrooms with a relationship to the New Concept Academy campus (the collection of rooms).

Fair point.

I had a discussion elsewhere in the county about whether a bridge crossing a highway and a railroad should be on layer 1 or 2. I moved the bridge from layer 2 to layer 1. There wasn't a layer 1 before, and it was the only bridge in the area that did this. The other person's concern was that the road and railroad could be on different layers because they *could* on different grades even though they are parallel. I advocated that they are on the same grade below the bridge and thus there is only 1 layer below the bridge.

So some other people have thought of it as a physical descriptor. Though it shouldn't be confused with level in a building, which is a physical descriptor.

The change to New Concept Academy was trying to resolve several issues. Though after reviewing the business license for New Concept Academy at <https://www.cupertino.org/aca>, it's possible that this business no longer exists. The license expired last year. I recommend confirming that New Concept Academy still exists. The company is a registered business in Sunnyvale, and it goes by only "New Concept Academy" instead of any other localized name.

This looks like a good change! Thanks.

When you put it that way, it makes sense. Thanks for the change.

Also Wolfe is more similar to Homestead.

Yeah, demoting Wolfe between Stevens Creek and Homestead seems reasonable. It’s more like Vallco, Homestead and this segment of Tantau. That Wolfe segment seems lesser than Stevens Creek.

Though South Tantau should be more than a residential road, like a tertiary road. This segment of North Tantau seems more significant than South Tantau. I’d also classify this segment to be like a lot like Bollinger, Miller, Moorpark, Campbell and Stelling.

That’s my opinion.

I would say that it's similar to Vallco and Miller Ave. It has more lanes than Pruneridge. The Apple Park Store at the corner of Pruneridge and Tantau is a popular tourist destination. The east entrance to Apple Park is on Tantau. Apple Park probably has more than 12,000 employees and 14,200 parking spaces (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Park).

Stevens Creek, Lawrence, Wolfe are very busy roads. It's safe to say that employees are using both entrances in large quantities in cars, buses, bicycles and other forms of transportation. The equivalent of a population of a town is entering and exiting the place on many days of the week. I think the traffic was modeled for the area when it was being built, which I believe the city of Cupertino and Apple had to do a study for.

A lot of the traffic from South Tantau is diverted onto Stevens Creek to go onto Lawrence and 280 (see recent turn restriction discussion). It's also frequently used when Wolfe is closed or restricted for construction, like for that big pipe being put in now.

Apple Park is a very large source and destination of traffic. This segment of the road is frequently used.

So apparently in the editor, here is what I had to do:
1) Select all relevant nodes and lines. You will have to use the shift key when selecting them.
2) Select "add to a relation".
3) Sort all nodes and lines from start to finish. A member may be included more than once, and those should be deleted.
4) Add member type "from", all of the "via" in the middle, and a final "to" to all of the members.

I didn't know that I could do #1, since it was only allowing me to select 3 members by default. This intersection has been updated accordingly.

How do you apply the restriction on a path through 2 nodes instead of a single node? The only alternative that I could think was to merge both Stevens Creek connections on Tantau into a single point, but that makes the route no longer follow the flow of traffic. The current paths do model the flow of traffic.

While that is true, I couldn't find a restriction that could leave the left turn lanes alone on Stevens Creek. The only restriction is that you can't have a vehicle go from North Tantau to South Tantau. The bicycle route goes both ways. You can turn left and right from Stevens Creek on to South Tantau. There is also an island blocking this only vehicle route from north to south Tantau. All other routes are unblocked.

Also you don't go through 2 traffic signals when going between north and south. So those were moved to their respective streets at the stop line.

If you have a more specific suggestion on how to model this very specific restriction, I'd appreciate to know a different solution.

I moved the loading_zn information to the actual segment of the road where there is a loading zone. At least I've seen people parked there waiting closest to the light rail in front of the buses. I added the bike rack back, but I can't verify it because I didn't see the location of the rack. It's hard to prove the non-existence, unless I scour the area more thoroughly.
