It's not an accepted tag, it's not even proposed yet. I'm not sure if it's the best way to document curb extensions but I think it would be ok as a marker to remember where they are for now.

I used Chrome's "Translate This Page" feature to read that wikipage.

Talking about it a little over here -https://osmus.slack.com/archives/C6E4S4CQG/p1655941475239799

Thanks for the response, the sidewalks/pedestrian mapping has been pick up steam the past year or two and will definitely help people out.

Hello, thanks for mapping so many sidewalks and crosswalks!

I saw you added `tactile_paving=partial` to this node node/8132573641 and was wondering if you did so because of the discussion in the OSM-US Slack a couple days ago or if there was a different situation on the ground there.

I added a couple `tactile_paving=partial` nodes to represent grooved pavement (vs blister pavement) but am wondering if that is a good idea considering all the nodes in NYS are either tactile_paving=yes or no.

Hello, I'm not quite sure a tree line is the best way to map the trees in those back yards. There isn't exactly a straight line of trees there.

Yeah I'd just remove them.

Please note that "opening_date" refers to when a building will open in the future (usually used with things under construction) while you probably meant to use "start_date" which refers to when a building was built in the past.

119440447 over 3 years ago

Both of these features have "opening_date" tags that have passed (fall 2021). Do you know if there's a new expected date?

Hello, please use crosswalks if you are going to map sidewalks.

See the area around this point in Flushing for an example without curbs mapped: node/42836761

And this area for an example with more detail/curbs mapped:
node/42818249

I'm not sure, I guess it could have been painted since the last re-pavement. It doesn't seem like it's common enough around here to worry about having to tag both cases.

I guess I'll slowly re-tag `crossing=marked` as `crossing=traffic_signals` as I come by them since that does seem to be the right tag despite so much of the city being `crossing=marked`

119002167 over 3 years ago

Here is one in Flushing, way/936536474

It is pretty uncommon, a few of the other one my query flagged were improperly tagged.

It looks like there were some proposals like this one to separate the marked/unmarked tags and signal control but it doesn't look like they ever got officially approved. osm.wiki/Proposed_features/crossing:signals

119002167 over 3 years ago

I have updated the ones I could confirm. osm.org/edit?way=610035984

I have no doubt made this mistake many times in the past, I could have sworn there was a way to notate both the paint status and traffic control status...

119002176 over 3 years ago

I split this way, so it copied whatever tags were on it.

Hello,

Is there a reason to change all these tags to have the "contact:" prefix? It does not seem necessary.

118216943 almost 4 years ago

Getting a head start huh!

Should we set `operator:wikidata=Q1058767` on these on the DOT racks? (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1058767)

I'm not sure there's a better way to conflate the various operator tags (DOT, NYC DOT, NYC, etc).

This discussion bled into the OSMUS Slack.
https://osmus.slack.com/archives/C4DPLAN3U/p1642373310020500

I'm inclined to say we keep these features and style of mapping due to the additional information each representation captures. In the case of ways for routing/accessibility and the areas for micromapping detail.

115741447 almost 4 years ago

Hello, thanks for contributing your first edits to OSM!

When a business closes the prefix "disused:" is can be added before the old tags. disused=*:

In this case it would be "disused:name=Nino's Pizza" and "disued:amenity=restaurant", and so on for whichever other tags.

Opening_hours refers to the time the restaurant is open, in this case they would be the hours for the new opening times. opening_hours=*

OSM isn't the best at keeping history, often people just delete the old tags and replace them with the new.

Thank you both!

I copied the location from the NYC Ferry mobile app's map. It doesn't look like they have it on their website anywhere. I don't know if it's exactly that spot but based on that and some descriptions of the shuttle I can't find anymore I believe it's near there.

It looks like the new footprint (from the Bing Imagery) is the same as the outermost footprint. I think the grass/plant areas may be on the roof which makes it a little confusing. You could combine all the parts to make one building. A fixme tag is fine if you'd like to leave a note on the situation.

If you want to tag the gym layout inside there are some indoor mapping tags, I'm not too familiar with them. Entrances/exits may be helpful too.
