I thought the north end had connected to another Primary at one point, but it's probably fine as Secondary, then. Thanks!

being a state highway doesn't automatically upgrade classification. you can refer to IDOT's traffic count data, and you'll see that traffic on IL 31 across the river sees more than double the use on average (11k vs 4k). and douglas road, east of here, which is not a numbered route at all, actually sees more traffic than *either*. by sheer numbers, IL 25 is not the primary connection between these places, but i have also had discussions longtime area residents, and they confirm that. IL 25 is tertiary at best, at least up to Aurora

what's the basis for changing the classification here? the prior classification was done based on local knowledge, regional importance of the road, traffic counts, and communication with the county highway department

i guess such a short stretch doesn't feel like a trunk road to me. i don't have a hard limit in mind, but i feel like for a road to temporarily "upgrade" its class, it needs to be for a longer stretch than just this? the trunk section of 56, for instance, goes from I 88 to where it merges back down from being a divided highway.

hello! what's the reasoning behind 47 briefly being a trunk road at the US 30 interchange?

Ah, thank you for linking that page of the wiki. I was unaware of that particular bit of information.

Please be a little more careful with your edits. You've ended up gluing the nodes of many admin boundary ways to non-boundary features.
The iD editor gives you the option to hide boundary features while you edit, which would make this sort of thing easier to avoid.

I've not had much luck with partial reverts in JOSM. Looks like there are some other elements glued to the boundary ways, too. Might just be best to go through and manually correct the boundary with a good source. I've got a bunch of annexations I need to add over in Kendall, so I can try to take a look at it when I do that.

It appears that way/33764746 was shifted, I'm assuming by accident? Most of Plainfield's boundary is now in the wrong place.

Thanks for fixing some of those issues! Just be careful: you removed a valid address point without adding its tags to any other object. I've re-added the address in question.

D'oh! Pardon this seeming out-of-place edit from this account, it should have been done under my personal username. I stand by the edit regardless, but it's not normal procedure for Kendall County GIS to be editing so far from the county boundary.

I think this would be a good spot for "short_name". I favor the "name" key essentially being equivalent to "official_name", then using "short_name" for any informal common abbreviation.
In my hometown, we had the "Alex M Mantino Junior High School", but everyone just called it "Mantino", even in official communications from school staff. But it's still not the official name.

And jeez, looking at it now, I've fallen way behind on some of this new construction and bike paths!

120771414 over 3 years ago

I do! You can see the latest Kendall County aerials on our GIS portal. Here's the webmap for our "latest imagery" basemap.

Imagery was flown this March.

There are two segments of 126, just east of US 30 / IL 59, which have the tag "la2=separate" added to them. I'm assuming that's a typo of some sort, but it wasn't obvious what it should have been, so I left it alone.

Oh yeah! Mapping electric utilities can get super intense and detailed. I only know a bit about it myself, but take a look at power=* for examples of all kinds of stuff.
The power lines you added might even be considered "minor_line", which I forgot about until I was reading the wiki page just now. The points themselves would probably just be power=pole.

120008078 over 3 years ago

Looks great! If you can tell from the imagery, it's a good idea to add some kind of tag to the nodes, too, to indicate what kind of utility pole / structure they are.

118450005 almost 4 years ago

No worries! It wasn't too difficult to fix.

118480659 almost 4 years ago

Done! From recent imagery I'd call a few of them medium, but the rest sparse.
