The primary purpose of OSM is to create geo data for consumers to use, not to display a map, although many consumes use it to display a map. If they consider driveways to be a clutter, they will not display them. Many other types objects are being added that could equally be questioned such as turning circles, nonexistent floor levels, and road signs. Why include the entire length of terminating roads even before there are any houses? Much of today's OSM data seems like extra overhead, but I've been surprised in the past when something that seems to be useless suddenly has value.
Adding buildings to busy areas has always required conflict resolution to make the new building coexist with existing land cover, land use, water features, sidewalks, and other buildings.

Welcome to OSM! Note that there is already a node for Pella Windows and Doors in the correct position. Imports should check for existing objects and add or correct information when necessary.

Thanks for the restore. Usually I'd be cautious about the private access tag, but in the context of the trails apps, it would make sense to add private to these walkways since they could suggest a network connected by grass for routers.

Hi, Why were the footpaths removed? They appear to follow the walkway to the house.

What was the date of the telemetry and imagery used for this change? This was only changed over on May 16-18 and any data before that would be completely different.

Also removed nonexistent TIGER import roads

It is still listed in https://foothillstrail.org/portfolio/round-mountain-gap/

The trail has been restored in changeset #166870794

Hi, thank you for these edits! The surfaced residential roadway may be extended inside a subdivision where roads may not be paved today but will be in the next few months. In this subdivision, it would be good to keep the roads marked under construction between the east and west sides until they are paved so that delivery drivers are directed back to the main road to cross. If you know road names, there are some missing names on the west side.

Thanks for catching this - it was a typo as I was figuring out the Terracing plugin.

Nice job building out Millegeville! Tip - pressing Q after drawing buildings will make them square.

Hi, When encountering a construction area with roads under construction (highway=construction), just modify the existing construction roads to their final form, such as highway = residential. Please do not trace new roads over the existing construciton roads.

I'm just glad it didn't come out as the "Blue Hosers"!

Welcome to OpenStreetMap! Thank you for adding this curb detail; it looks good and it's the last major piece of the local sidewalk network.

162682819 10 months ago

Thanks - that is on his personal page. Unless BR549 (LOL) becomes real, this would be at best loc_name or nickname .

162682819 10 months ago

Hi, I cannot find "The Gulf of Williamston" mentioned in the city or mayor news releases.

162404343 10 months ago

Hi, what was the reason for this change? The dog park is attached to the bar building, but the whole area is not under a roof.

162374492 10 months ago

Welcome to OSM! This looks like a good representation of the park features. It looks like there is also a basketball court and walkway connecting to Creekwood Court that could be added.

Thank you for this fix. I rechecked that street section and there is no longer a proper cycle lane, bicycle sign or sharrow. So I have also removed the bicycle-designated tag. But I added the traffic table and crossings near the Grand Bohemian.

Why were these removed? They appeared to be just micro-mapping from the imagery. The tagging might not have been correct, but the feature geometries matched.
