There were a bunch of pot plants and other material put there so it was not obvious there was a path here, probably the nearby resident placed these here to disguise the legally accessible path. If you didn't know there was a path (and didn't see the sign) you'd think you were walking into someones backyard.

I deleted node/8878498384 because the vacinnation centre is already tagged on the building way.

For way/971051966/history, the wiki documents service=alley as mainly rear access service=alley, whereas this is more a shared driveway which I've been taging as service=driveway, however it seems the wiki indicates service=driveway is for connecting to a specific property. Might be a good one to discuss more on talk-au to work out what's the best way to map shared driveways.

PS. node/5123393949 I fixed up the tagging for a crossing island.

I opened note/2812838 because from memory when I added the steps they stopped at the playground and didn't connect to the other path.

Hi the shared path you added at way/917699708 is overlapping the road which is incorrect. I've moved it to be adjacent from the road if you wanted to have a look and make sure it's correct? Otherwise some photos of what's there would help.

Yeah but on the other hand, people live there and it matches the wiki description for a hamlet, so regardless of the official name it's still a settlement, so in that sense was:place=hamlet doesn't seem right. Maybe I'll just leave it as is for now then, since the admin boundaries you updated already.

37681671 over 4 years ago

I don't have the local knowledge to know what it is called now. Only per the GNB, addressing data, and admin boundaries, "Berowra Creek" only exists as the watercourse name, not as a named place.

37681671 over 4 years ago

In the GNB Berowra Creek suburb node/117103168 is discontinued and is now part of the existing Berowra Waters suburb. Do you think we should either just delete this node or change it to was:place=hamlet? Though if the locals still call it Berowra Creek I guess it still exists, just doesn't form part of the admin boundary.

Hey mate, I just noticed that this way you contributed for Mt Saddleback Track exactly matches the geometry appearing in Land Tasmania's Transport Segments open data.
Just curious did you create this originally yourself from GPS, and they sourced it from here in OSM or did you source it from their dataset?

Hi typically we don't map temporary popup things like this which are just open for one day every few years per osm.wiki/Good_practice#Don.27t_map_temporary_events_and_temporary_features

Further it looks like the geometries are quite a bit off. I'll remove the ones I spot.

Thanks! I'll have to revisit for another attempt. I would have suggested we add that to description=* which is used to provide additional information to the end map user, but it's limited to 255 characters.

I'd consider changing access=permissive to access=yes then. Per access=* "permissive" means it's private but the owner generally allows access, but that might change at any time. "yes" means it's public right of way.
I just added one of the foreshore bush tracks yesterday, but I'm sure there are more missing short tracks still to be mapped.

I tried to access Merlon Pathway, but couldn't find it without risking trespassing. It was very unclear where was private and where was public, and didn't look accessible. I guess I just needed to push on and if I found myself in someones house by accident then apologise. Have you physically surveyed this by walking through?

108004671 over 4 years ago

Have you seen StreetComplete https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete#readme helps survey details of these houses. And if you instead add them as generic building=yes then on the ground it will ask if it's detached, duplex, terrace, apartments etc.

A bubbler you could also use amenity=drinking_water

if the gate can still be opened by emergency services, national parks staff etc then better to set as motor_vehicle=private, motor_vehicle=no means there is no access even for those legally allowed.

You're really on the ball with these updates, nice work!

I don't think way/732339055 and similar should be tagged as leisure=park. A park leisure=park is an area of open space for recreational use. I can't go here to kick a ball around, sit around, or throw a picnic, so I don't think leisure=park should apply.

Hey you do realise many of these contact details were already tagged under the contact:* prefix?
