Hi CrunchyBrunch, thanks for adding the cycleway tags to LaSalle Road. Just a note, when using cycleway:right/left tags, you shouldn't use the opposite_lane value. In this case with a lane on both sides you can just use the value "lane" for both tags. opposite_lane is really just for contraflow lanes, and only with the non-specific "cycleway" tag. See the Bicycle page on the OSM wiki. Thanks!

Hi, FYI for most of these building=house you could have used the more specific tag building=detached

Hi, thanks for adding Fifteenmile Stream. I noticed you added a number of culverts that are actually bridges. You can use the "USGS 3D Elevation Program" lidar imagery to tell the difference...culverts will usually appears as solid earth and bridges will usually have abutments visible

Hi, I noticed you changed the Flood Levee Trail to a cycleway, but the trail map online says it is "foot travel only", granted the map is from 2010. Has that changed? I was there yesterday but didn't see any signage.

Hi J_Hutch, there's no need to add access tags like access=yes, motor_vehicle=yes, bicycle=yes, etc to public highway=residential roads. They are already strongly implied, see: osm.wiki/OSM_tags_for_routing/Access_restrictions#United_States_of_America
Thanks

Hi Jon2698, I noticed you added cycleway:both=lane to this long stretch of CT 68. Are you sure there is a designated bike lane here? I only see a shoulder on the latest Bing imagery...it seems unlikely given the 45mph speed limit. -Andrew

Hmm, the same problem here, I'm finding a few of these around CT. I only see a shoulder on one side and street parking on the other, no bike lane.

Hi Zack, I don't see a bike lane here?

Whoops thanks, missed that one, fixed

bicycle=designated is specifically for roads that are signposted for bicycles (see above wiki link); being a part of a route does not make them designated. You could mark them bicycle=yes I suppose, but that is already implied on highway=residential in the US.
As for the tunnel I already fixed it, I was checking all the tunnels in CT and came across it.

125374946 over 3 years ago

Also, I'm not sure if this was a mistake, but you split the tunnel (way/1089199734) into two halves and I believe connected the middle node to the road above? Generally there shouldn't be any connection between a bridge/tunnel and the intersecting road.

Hi again, I see you added bicycle=designated to six residential roads (for example, way/1089199733). Are these roads really signposted for bicycles (bicycle=designated)? If they are simply bike-legal then the don't need a bicycle tag. I know some of them have the East Coast Greenway tag but I'm not sure that counts as bicycle=designated.

Hi tannerjt, I noticed you put cycleway=lane on Reed St. Are you sure it is a proper bike lane? I noticed on the Norwalk GIS website that it is marked as having sharrows (shared_lane), but perhaps that information is outdated. Thanks.

Alright so there definitely needs to be some cleanup here :) First @jnighan I'm not sure you're supposed to put actual names in the unsigned tag? The wiki page lists "unsigned=name" but I think it means literally the value "name", not [name]. And if you look at taginfo now, it's dominated by the names of Connecticut highways.
Then second, @Jmapper007 clearly name isn't compatible with noname=yes so there has to be some resolution there

125337913 over 3 years ago

Ah whoops, yeah other way around. Still you added the name tag, which is incompatible with the existing noname tag -- I see the other discussion now, I will comment there too

125337913 over 3 years ago

Hi, it looks like you added noname=yes to six ways in the Andover/Columbia/Willimantic area, but they still have a name tag? For example 700683946

Hi, just a note that for most of the tunnel entrances at the Yale residential colleges, you can use tunnel=building_passage, and also they generally shouldn't have layer=-1 because they're on the same layer as the ground:
tunnel=building_passage

125429193 over 3 years ago

Hm yeah, that particular example is definitely borderline. I've added a section to the building_passage discussion page for roofs between buildings. Car washes are also borderline, I've been leaving them as building_passage but arguably they should only have indoor=yes

123770468 over 3 years ago

Hi Zack, I noticed you added layer=-1 to a lot of sidewalks. What's your reasoning there?

124666513 over 3 years ago

Hi CyberMinion, I saw the review_requested=yes tag on the changeset. Looks good generally, but in reference to the "South Windsor Town Land Driveway" you shouldn't construct names as a description (unless that's the official name of the road?). If it doesn't have an official name then just leave the name blank, or you can add it in the description or note field. Learn more here: osm.wiki/Names#Names_are_not_for_descriptions
Thanks!
