Please don’t add arbitrary crossings across live railroad tracks where there are not designated crossings! There is lots of documentation available to show you the correct tagging procedures for railway crossings.

I think you misunderstood what I was saying... these paths don’t exist, you can see the building outlines that you drew over right? There is a pods storage facility that paved over this area, I’m not saying that it’s hard to get to or something and that’s why the paths shouldn’t be there, I’m literally saying it does not exist anymore.

It takes 2 seconds to type something other than “edits”, for example “in this change set I marked an entire sidewalk as a street crossing for some reason” or “in this change set I deleted some on the ground tagging from someone who just visited the area to confirm this is the right way to tag it”. I’m not asking for much dude, and I’m not being anal about it either.

FYI there are buildings here, those paths have not been traversable for some time now. The reason that iD warns you about the paths crossing is because the paths are crossing. Marking them as level -1 should only be done if it is indeed below the ground level.

If possible could you describe some of your change sets in a little more detail than "edits"? It would help to verify and can help others continue editing the areas you are improveing.

Understood, going forward if there’s no note on it I’ll just add the missing tags.

Are some of these buildings meant to be completely untagged? From the imagery they appear to be houses so I’ve been updating them with that tag, but if you are holding off in tagging them for some reason let me know and I won’t update any more of these.

Please don't add names to houses especially names containing private information...

Glad to see someone’s making use of my OSC footage :)

That’s why lately I’ve been trying to “seed” the different neighborhoods and other areas with a few tagged houses and such here or there to encourage other people to expand out based on those. Thanks for your encouragement and I will continue adding houses when finals are over.

Ah I see, i will stop tagging those areas as wood then

I'm not sure what caused all the blank points to show up due to this changeset, I will just delete them but it might be an iD bug...

Thanks, it means a lot!
I decided on that solution as it would allow larger areas to mesh together better rather than just temporarily ligning everything in UCSC to a possibly wrong alignment.

I will continue adding better definition to ways and polygons as I visit those areas of campus in my day to day activities.

@stevea I consulted the OSM reddit to figure out what the best approach would be for this and after running some gps traces I came to the conclusion that the alignment best fitting this area was the same one used for a lot of downtown Santa Cruz. I will continue to align the rest of the areas to the best of my ability but let me know if I mistakenly break any relations or am doing something wrong in the process.

Probably correct, I edited some of this before knowing the proper tags and it's definitely due for some rework as it is currently mapped as having a physical separation between lanes despite that being the case.

Absolutely correct, I was suggested to add that by iD, but I should have read more into what it means. I will undo it when I get the chance or if you are able could you correctly tag it?

Real mature

Ok, feel free to undo my changes or let me know and I’ll do it myself.

Does the pool continue underneath the walkway or is it split by a wall

What do you mean by “tag crossings”?
