Hello.
Looking at satellite imagery of this intersection, it doesn't look like there's a pedestrian island here. Is that not correct?

Hello.
Please note that changeset commend "variations of edits" doesn't really help other mappers understand what exactly you edited. Please see this article for a good explanation on what makes a good comment: osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments
Additionally, please try to keep your changes grouped into smaller geographic areas, such as a neighborhood or a city or a county. The way OSM works your current edit stretches over 4 states and needlessly alerts people in unrelated areas about this edit. Keeping changes grouped to smaller areas prevents that. 👍
Finally, when drawing right-angle forms, such as tennis courts, you can right-click on it and select "make square" or use shortcut key Q. That makes your edits look neater and more accurate to the real world.🙂

Hello again.
You tagged this road segment as not having bike lanes at all.
However, satellite imagery shows that there are shared bike lines in both directions. Is that not correct?

Hello.
Looking at satellite imagery of this buildings, it seems like roofs here are flat.
Is that not correct?

Yo NYMM Team, if you are going to be doing your spammy business on OSM, at least use correct tags!

It's not excessive for proper identification and grouping. :)
Does FDNY stand for Fruit Distributors of New York? ;)
As the linked article mentions, "Computers can easily shorten words, but not the other way (St. could be Street or Saint)."
It's better to be explicit here and let data consumers worry about how it looks.

115928184 almost 4 years ago

Hello.
Could you please elaborate why did you tag that this doesn't match FDNY wikidata article?

Also you name this fire station with its abbreviated name. However, as documented here: osm.wiki/Names#Abbreviation_.28don.27t_do_it.29 it's not a good idea. 👍

Hello again.
Please note that generally it is better to edit the existing buildings to their current shape rather than delete them and create new ones. This way you preserve history of the edits for other to refer to.

Hello.
While your edit is not outright wrong, generally it's better to use what are called lifecycle prefixes, such as "disused:" or "was:" . Doing that better preserves the history of what used to be at this location. For more details check out osm.wiki/Lifecycle_prefix 👍

There are physical barriers at W30th, W29th, W28th. Also I don't remember which block I saw them on, but there are plastic median sticks to prevent people cutting corners when turning.

Why did you redraw surf ave as a single road when it's clearly separated by a median? osm.wiki/Dual_carriageway
Your change also messed up bus routes relations here.
This change was unnecessary...

The weather is really nasty right now, rain and heavy fog, otherwise I'd walk over there to survey.

115650102 almost 4 years ago

It's not really a "park". Just a bunch of grass/bush lawns.
I didn't delete the nodes to the west. It's still connected for me.
Btw, thank you for tagging all the benches and streetlights on the boardwalk. 👍 I've been meaning to do them just never got around to it.

I'd consider Diamond District more of a traditional "neighborhood" definition like soho, noho, etc, than this amusement park.

115621262 almost 4 years ago

I have no idea about legal zoning map. I'd guess different blocks there are zoned differently to allow for shops, restaurants, amusement rides. I don't know specifics of the law.

When you tell somebody "let's go watch coney island friday night fireworks" everybody knows you are not telling them to go to west 28th st and mermaid ave.
When you tell somebody "let's go attend coney island's july 4th hotdog eating content" everybody knows exactly what it is, and not confuse it with Coney Island Avenue.
Coney Island Mermaid Parade is named that because it takes place in that area, and not Neptune Ave and West 16th St.

Coney Island amusement park is in Coney Island neighborhood.
No, it's not a gated and fenced off area for which you have to buy tickets and stand in line like 6flags or disney. It is open to everybody who wants to visit. There is no requirement that an "amusement park" has to be an incorporated organization with fences and tickets and telephone numbers or websites.

Just like farmers markets. It's many independent businesses not necessarily associated with each other. There's no fence or gate or ticket. But they operate in the same general area and collectively referred to as such and such farmers market.

It's geographical boundaries are all the areas covered by the attractions. You obviously wouldn't add residential buildings to it or Coney Island Train Yard for example...

115621262 almost 4 years ago

Afaik there's no website for the aggregate of Coney Island attractions.
I don't understand your hesitation here. Do you not believe that this attractions area is called Coney Island and is separate from the neighborhood of the same name?

Thanks for sharing that gps trace. 👍 I moved the stop and route to closer match your route. 🙂 changeset/115624990
