Is there an aerial source that shows this yet? Maxar seems the most up to date but is still just showing construction work. If there are no overhead or even just photos of the work in progress then it will probably need a survey. I don't get out that way very much these days with work from home.

According to this interesting reading, CO does have general exceptions to the usual weight limits for emergency vehicles. However, I think nearly every type of fire engine, even large type 1s, will be less than 86000 lbs by design. In the document there are a few examples of aerial platforms with a tiller on a third group of axles that could exceed 86000, but I'd pay good money to see someone try to make it up a dirt road in one...

Weight limits at those high levels can impact even dirt roads which may be insufficiently shored, or have culverts to crush, or even just soil to liquify. I've had to move some substation transformers at ~120k lbs, and the gymnastics needed to move them is quite complex.

Don't let the front door hit you on the backside.

Driveways do indeed count, and are used by delivery and emergency services users of OSM data. It is true that we are all volunteers, but that makes it more important to follow the community guidelines, not less.

Hi, thanks for your mapping work in the area. Can I ask why you deleted all of the driveways from the neighborhood? It is bad practice to delete information from the database, as long as it is accurate.

Thanks, I think that is the right choice. What are they trying to get out of the grouping? Common search results? I'm trying to think if there is another way to accomplish their needs.

Hi, I'm not sure that the boundary tagging is correct for this - admin_level=8 is for small cities and towns, not just for grouping of similar features. It is rendering very strangely on some maps now because of this. Are you sure these climbing areas need to be grouped at all, as long as they are individually tagged correctly? If they do need to be grouped, then they shouldn't be grouped with a boundary that isn't real.

True, the reservation areas, while not subject to the criminal laws of Oklahoma, are still "in" Oklahoma from a boundaries perspective, which is similar to the other major reservations. The legal details are somewhat beyond me (and probably most people other than legal specialists), but the short answer to "Is an Indian Reservation a State?" is "no". BTW, thanks for making the update, the court ruling is a big deal, and map visibility is an important way for people to understand the implications to them.

If you were just there and the house is still present, then you are probably right that it isn't part of the park (yet).

Thanks for updating the Forks Park boundaries. However, didn't they buy that little "notch" that is along Big Thompson Canyon and make it part of the park?

Hi, did you have a chance to review my comment? If I don't hear from you, I will have to revert the change as a mass modification without consulting the community. Thanks - phidauex

Hi, thanks for mapping. I noticed you added a building, but you drew the building over the entire parcel, rather than just the structure. Can you modify it so the building=residential way is just over the house itself? Thanks

Welcome to OSM, and thanks for your contributions! One tip to make your building additions more professional is to use the "Q" shortcut in the iD editor to square the corners of the building, it makes it faster to draw, and gives a better end result. Happy mapping!

Hi, and welcome to OSM! You've made a large modification to CO parks by removing the recreation_ground tag - this was established by consensus between a number of local mappers a while back to address some gaps in the protect_class tagging and ensure the intent of "open space" type recreation areas. Please revert your edits and discuss with the community, either in changeset comments, the mailing list, or the OSM-US Slack channel before making mass edits like this. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi, I noticed you've been updating a lot of road classifications around Denver - I don't have any specific objections, but I'm curious what guidance or sources you are using for the changes. Are you local to Denver area?

Hi, thanks for adding Boulder Junction. Since it is so mixed use (whole sections are commercial or light industrial only), it would probably be better tagged as "place = neighbourhood" (note the UK spelling), with individual landuses for the areas. Happy mapping!

It is in the Good Practice section: osm.wiki/Good_practice#Don.27t_map_temporary_events_and_temporary_features

The main issue is that, while the OSM front page updates quite quickly, most major data consumers of OSM maps update on a weekly or even monthly basis, so if something is sufficiently temporary that having it show up on a map 3 months from now wouldn't make much sense, then it probably doesn't make a good addition to the OSM database itself.

Note that my objection is purely of a practical nature, I completely support the actions of the protestors and would be right there with you if I wasn't home with a 2 week old baby. :)

86421458 over 5 years ago

"Abandoned" to me implies that no one holds a lease to the property, not just that someone isn't currently using it. I wouldn't say someone on vacation has abandoned their home, for instance.

I'm supportive of the intent to map the "live" situation of the protests, but keeping in mind that map source updates run on a schedule of months, rather than minutes, it is worth asking ourselves if this sort of change is going to actually be useful.

It isn't super well supported, but if you are interested in adding it, this is the conditional syntax for bicycle access on a highway: bicycle:conditional=no @ (Apr-15-Oct 15)

Hi, I am reverting this change, you seem to know why. There is a park just a few doors down from your house, no need to change the apartment to a park just to play your game.
