according to the base visitor page, it looks like Ft Sam Houston is a access by sponsorship or invitation only base so yes, private would be more appropriate.

Most US Army bases are publicly accessible by permit unless sponsorship is required.

thanks, i also do Ohare. its a bit more complicated to keep up to date with project O’Hare 21 going on with constant updates. Luckily both airports have aoa-alert pages that have detailed info on whet is being updated.

could be changed once the USGS national map is updated. https://apps.nationalmap.gov/viewer/

it was not

There seems to be no specific tagging scheme for a running track that is not made for competition. I would say leave it as leisure=track and highway=path because it was specifically designed and marked for joggers/walkers to separate them from the cycle trail and double as a pedestrian path. https://www.chicagoparkdistrict.com/about-us/news/lakefront-trail-separation-project-continues-roosevelt-31st-street

I presented the question to the OSM Slack community at https://osmus.slack.com/archives/C2VJAJCS0/p1735605042194539

Lakefront trail also includes the parallel non marked, non paved running track at grant park.

The way marked with leisure=track is the marked track designated for pedestrians combined use of walking or running that was marked seporatly from the marked cycleway as part of the lakefront trail. How would you tag that?

fixed, thanks, i overlooked that bit.

https://thefieldsstudios.com/ this page should answer that i think.

Yes, fixed common name and added karetakers as operators.

@ZeLonewolf Ya, looks like they went to a sponserd visitor permit access. Different from the last rime i was there. @ElliottPlack only if the roads are inside the gate and access requires a sponsorship. Many bases only require a permit that can be obtained at visitor centers near the main gates. Roads outside the gates are accessable to the general public.

FYI most US military base roads are permit access not private.

I think private parking is used for loading areas now, just didn't have any common tagging scheme when i first mapped the base. the fenced in areas that aren't military motorpools, are mostly used by civilian contractors. more recently I had been marking them as industrial areas.

Do you have a suggestion of what would work better?

further reading for access tags access=*

Access=destination Indicates that traffic is not allowed, but anyone may still use it to reach a destination that can not be reached otherwise. which is NOT what this residential road is used for. the contraflow greenways have no restrictions to traffic and should have no access tags restricting navigation.

only if is seporated by some sort of barrier. here is some further reading. osm.wiki/Dual_carriageway

west of Orchard, North Ave has no physical separation between ways.
