Hello.
I don't think tagging all those grass polygons as leisure=park is correct. They are way too small and don't have the amenities that are normally associated with what one would consider "park".
landuse=grass or landuse=greenery are more suitable tags for those.
landuse=greenery

I have been professional and cordial to you and I expect the same from you without uncalled for name calling!
Good luck with finding those more suitable mapping solutions.

I don't know why you think there's hostility. Your edit contained mistakes which I pointed out to you.

Also don't know what opaqueness you are referring to when everything I pointed out to you is documented on the publicly accessible documentation site osm.wiki/
Mapping the real world is a complicated topic. A map needs to be able to account for all the different things one might encounter out there and as such it has a bit of nuance to it. But that's not the same thing as opaque.

Perhaps contact your elected officials or DoT or whoever else there might have the authority/power to construct such infrastructure and ask them what's the best way to relay the lack of, and the need for this infrastructure to them.

I'm not familiar with the equestrian topic and what kind of apps are out there that would be more suitable for this.

Nonetheless, OSM must NOT be used to map features which do not exist and you want constructed. OSM is a map of the world NOW, not in the future or in the past.

Mapping the presently used riding routes is perfectly fine, but they must be mapped correctly. Adding a bridleway on top of an existing road or on top of sidewalks is not a correct way of doing that.

This edit has similar problems to your first one.
You mapped a bridleway that goes over a pedestrian sidewalk, then crosses a road where there doesn't appear to be any such crossing, goes on top of a road, etc. This whole feature also appears to be better mapped as a horse route relation.

Hello.
You added this bridleway as "Tucker's Route to Prospect Arena". Is this actually an official name of this road segment or just a name that you came up with?
In OSM it's perfectly fine if feature that do not have names..not have names.

Additionally, you tagged this way as surface=asphalt, Streetside imagery shows this is more of a gravel. Could you please confirm the surface type here?

Finally, you tagged it as horse_scale=dangerous. I'm not equestrian expert, but reading horse_scale=* doesn't seem like this short, straight, paved/compacted segment would fit the OSM definition of horse_scale=dangerous.

Account won't be deleted unless you continue to misuse features of OSM. Changeset won't be deleted since you, hopefully, just made an honest mistake and not intentionally spam/vandalizing the map.
However, looking at closer at your changes here and in the 2 following edits there are a number of issues that have to be addressed.

You added a meeting spot. Generally these kind of virtual features are not mapped since it's almost impossible to verify this on the ground by somebody not part of this riding group. If there's some sign or a marker, then by all means map that. But just an agreed location among some people is not a map-able feature.

Additionally, you added "Griffin's Route to Van Bibber Park" as a bridleway. This doesn't seem correct.
For one, you added part of it on top of West 50th Avenue. That is incorrect. It's not like this is a double-decker road.
Then you mapped this bridleway running parallel and sometimes overlapping and intersecting Eldridge Street. This also doesn't seem correct since looking at all the available satellite imagery and Bing Streetside imagery, I'm not seeing any distinct bridleways. Please see this article which documents what is considered a bridleway and how to map them highway=bridleway
So unless this feature is brand new and not yet visible on any satellite imagery, it should not be mapped like that. Rather, what you probably want to do is update relevant sections of W 50th Ave and Eldridge Street to have correct access permissions for horse riding with "horse=yes" tags, and perhaps map this "Griffin's Route to Van Bibber Park" as an OSM horse route relation as documented in route=horse (however, osm route relations are a somewhat advanced topic with a lot of nuance, so I'd suggest you get more familiar with OSM before attempting to add that.)
Please correct me on any misunderstanding here.

You can't remove hashtags from existing changesets

144971078 about 2 years ago

Hello.
You are most welcome to *accurately* map various features, but please don't use OSM hashtags to promote whatever slogans you use. This is not the purpose of hashtags here. The way you use them could be considered spam.

Hello.
When creating features which have names, those names should be fully spelled out without abbreviations. You created "Dover St Loop", however it should be "Dover Street Loop". You can read more about this at osm.wiki/Names#Abbreviation_(don't_do_it)

Additionally, when mapping buildings, please put a little bit more effort into accurately mapping their shapes. Buildings usually have right angles on their corners and rarely are trapezoidal or otherwise wonky. You can improve quality of your buildings by right-clicking on one and selecting "Make Square". Not only will it make your mapping look neater, but it'll also make those buildings more closely represent their real-world counterparts.

Additionally, please don't map car sale parking lots as buildings.

Hello.
You mapped "Vince Lombardi Park & Ride" bus stop as both a node and a building. However, that goes against osm.wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element guideline. This should be corrected.

Hello.
Please note that it's important to accurately tag whether a crosswalk is controlled by a traffic light or has a STOP sign. There are separate tagging presets for both.
You can often tell traffic light intersection by diagonal gantries extending into the road from which traffic lights are hung.
Crosswalks with a stop sign usually have "STOP" written on the pavement in front of it.

144887303 about 2 years ago

Hello.
It is important to accurately tag the type of crosswalk it is. There's a difference between crosswalk with a traffic light and the one with just a stop sign. This specific crosswalk should've been split into 3 since the 2 on the sides are STOP sign crossings and the one in the middle has traffic lights.

Hello.
When mapping sidewalks around a block please try to map them as 4 separate ways rather than a single loop. Doing that allows each sidewalk on each street to be independently tagged.
Also please remember to tag crosswalks where appropriate.👍

What is the purpose of including that information in note= tag? Are you trying to map it or what?

swimming_pool=indoor
location=indoor
indoor=yes
These tags are all kinda synonym of each other.

Also perhaps attributes of the leisure=sports_centre feature and attributes of the swimming pool itself should be separate?

Hello.
Please note that in OSM dates are always in YYYY-MM-DD format.
Also note= tag is generally intended for other mappers to see. Based on the content that you wrote it sounds like it's more suitable for description= tag.
