Bicycles aren't allowed in Cambridge Cemetery, are they? I don't think so.

Cycleway one way tags here appear incorrect. Both sides of the street have bike lanes that are in the same direction as motor vehicle traffic, neither is contraflow

There’s no way for pedestrians to get here, is there? This seems to be on Boston Sand & Gravel property, and the main access point by Bunker Hill Community College has a prominent NO TRESPASSING sign. I don’t think they want random people walking, biking, etc around back here.

Hi all,

I have added conditional restrictions here based on street side. But, street side also suggests exceptions which I'm not aware of how to tag. If you have sufficient knowledge please go ahead and tag it accordingly or please let me know, I will map it.

Thanks,
rekulc.

"cycleway{" here on Mount Auburn Street is actually an on-street buffered bike lane, and mapping it as a cycleway 1. misrepresents it as an offstreet path, and includes no information on what sort of bike lane it is (that it's buffered and asphalt and decently smooth) 2. makes bike routing worse: bike routing tools now will show turn cues that aren't meaningful, and onto ways like this that do not have names, so it will just say "turn slight right". This isn't useful

These sorts of ways are found in a number of places across boston, and really aren't great for data quality of the map or for people using the map as a navigational tool for bikes. As someone who does a lot of bike route planning, I've been increasingly frustrated by the quality of the map in the boston area in this regard

To my knowledge the Jamaica Plain - Roxbury boundary runs from Heath St down Columbus Ave, not down the orange line, staying on Columbus until it hits Walnut Ave at Franklin Park.
