Changeset When Comment

You've undone a lot of work with the mistakes you've made in this edit. May I suggest some things to you? Focus on making smaller changes, work on one smaller logical change, then save it. It's very hard for a human to keep so many things in progress in their head all at once without making mistakes, which you do. Instead of spending time making sure there are 100 nodes for every curve of every flower bed to make sure it is super smooth, devote that time to making sure your edit are correct. Other editors spend a lot time to get thing right, including going out and recording with multiple gps units to make sure features that do not appear yet on any aerial imagery is correct. So it is very disheartening to see that work destroyed with your huge edits. Just think that the reason a feature is where it is, or has a certain tag might have been very well thought through and considered more than the time you have devoted to it. Don't rely just on aerial imagery, the edits made may have been done based on in person visit and conditions might have changed on the ground or be hard to see in the aerial imagery.

Some specifics:
You've moved/shortened sidewalks that I know (and verified) to be gps accurate. You've changed path surfaces that I know to be accurate. You've deleted paths I know to exist to this very day. You've deleted a sidewalk that was created last year that is not on the aerial imagery yet, I went out and manually mapped it using gps so the map would be correct. If something doesn't match the aerial imagery please consider that it might be more up to date then the aerial imagery. You can check the edit that put it there to see the date, and what source they used for it.

It wastes both your time and other mapprs time when this happens, and decreases the quality of the map if not caught. Please consider the damage that you are doing before your next edit.

Are they actually intended for public use? Or do they just not put up barriers? There are water main ends sticking up on the path for example.

You've added things as complete that are still under construction like the north part of sidney smith st, and the cycle path along the east side of university crescent.

That link is for the Northwest corner of Sturgeon and Silver. This is the north east corner of Sturgeon and Silver (Murray Park Road). If you go to https://parkmaps.winnipeg.ca/ and search for "Sturgeon Road and Silver Avenue Dog Park" it comes up an you can click on it to see the shape of it.

If you have any questions about this new area of fort whyte I'm happy to help update the map. I've been there several times and made a bunch of updates already.

171727524 3 months ago

Thanks. I updated the map to what I saw when I visited (and what is in the aerial images).

The parking aisle that was removed in this changeset, I suspect you intended to break it into two pieces, not remove it? I visited and the parking aisle is still there like in the public aerial images, just needed to be broken in two pieces.

Did you intend to remove the name of the dog park? You can find that name on the city of winnipeg website, so it seems like it is correct.

I visited and confirmed the south portion is two way and the north portion is one way and I've made the edits to reflect that now.

Thanks for your reply. In the last screenshot you can see the lane markings on the road change from yellow to white. Yellow usually means a line separating two directions of traffic, white means a line separating two lanes of traffic going the same direction. So I think that is enough to conclude that the south part of the road is bidirectional if you want to make that edit please go ahead. Otherwise I will visit at some point in the future and come back and correct it.

I think this road is one way north of the service road that connects to staff parking, and two way south of that. I can visit to confirm but maybe you have access to street level imagery that can confirm?

Do you know what they are doing here?

bruce oake is on the aerial images now, so i did an update of that area. take a look and see if there is anything else to improve

Hi, thanks for your comment. The screenshot looks like it is taken from the parking lot outside of the gate. Yes, some of that area is a parking lot (people drive to this location, park in the parking lot, and then walk around in the exhibition area), and some of it is festival grounds. It's not entirely clear which part is which just from the aerial images. I understand why you made the edit, because it does look like a big parking lot from the satellite photos. And vehicles do go in there to setup/take down the fair, and at other times of the year during smaller events they may allow vehicles in a portion of it. But the main purpose is the fair exhibition. But I have visited the location many times, including after May 2025 and I can assure you that it's main purpose is walking/fair grounds and not parking.

I appreciate all your efforts in mapping things, I just wanted to fix up this one change and let you know why I was doing so.

Hi there, I reverted this in changeset/170826288 because this area is an exhibition area, think fair grounds. It's main use is as a walking area for the red river ex so it's not a parking lot/sevice roads etc

You can also add play grounds as areas if you wish.

This is definitely not a regular accessible road. I've put this back as construction even though there isn't any active construction. I'm open to better tags, but marking this a regular road is not correct.
