I've removed the railroad crossing and retagged this segment of Pine Street as demolished: changeset/141520486

The roadways that have been tagged toll=yes in this changeset are not toll roads. Reverted here: changeset/141515683

Hi Zol87,

The Pine Street railroad crossing next to 11th Street has been permanently removed. There is now a raised train platform blocking its path.

Could you remove this crossing once again and check where the bus has been rerouted to?

Hi again. I haven't seen a response from you, so I went ahead and removed ref="I 69" from the roadway. Much of the roadway was already tagged with noref=yes and fut_ref="I 69", so in the future, once this highway finally gets the Interstate designation, make sure to remove those tags as well.

Hi DawsZed, I have a question unrelated to the previous feedback.

The tunnel box under Hudson Yards was originally mapped from satellite imagery a few years ago when it was still exposed to the surface. I see that you used an angled photo of the tunnel box to adjust the tunnel edges. Tracing from aerial imagery usually allows for more precision than eyeballing from a photo. Were there any other sources you used here?

Not to mention, HaPe-CZ is accusing the German and Canadian participants in this conversation of American nationalism.

Personally, I have a lot of complicated feelings about the United States. I'm not particularly patriotic. But I'm not going to start adding Swahili and Hindi names to features in the Czech Republic, and then accuse the locals of Czech nationalism when they notify me that it's against local guidelines. When I map in an unfamiliar country, I talk to the local community and follow their guidelines.

¡Hola!

Gracias por responder. No fui yo quien etiquetó originalmente esto como highway=bus_guideway. Lo encontré y vi que estaba mal, así que agregué un fixme, con la esperanza de que un mapeador local lo arreglara.

HaPe-CZ, why are you adding German terms specifically? Why not Chinese? Or Spanish? Or Arabic? What criteria are you using to determine which language goes in the name?

If we tried to include every language in the name, then certainly every literate person in the world could read it. But of course, it would be unreasonably long. So the global community of OSM mappers generally agrees that each local community should decide which languages are appropriate for the name.

Despite our significant English-speaking majority, the United States is a vibrant multilingual country. We have plenty of places where multiple languages belong in the name, like Kaser, New York [1] or the Navajo Nation [2]. However, I'm not aware of any border communities in the US with a significant German-speaking population, so naming these lanes "LKW" would be against local tagging guidelines. Nearly all signs in the US (outside of Puerto Rico) are in English, and we map what's on the sign.

As a local of the Czech Republic, you are free to propose changing the language of names in your home country. But when you try to change tagging guidelines halfway across the world in a country you're not familiar with, it's natural that you'll receive negative feedback.

Hi jrm2020,

Has the Purchase Parkway been fully signed as Interstate 69 now? Or does this segment still have "Future I-69" signs? I couldn't find any news articles online saying that the extension was complete.

Fine by me. Redundant tagging added here: changeset/137803578
