But it represents the physical reality of where curbs are, and how long crossings are. People can always choose to make slight detours when they walk in order to optimise their route, but that isn't what we represent on a map.

I can point you to some resources about sidewalk mapping if you'd like to learn more. Otherwise, please leave the work of other mappers intact. :)

Please do not delete the short ways that connect sidewalks to curbs. They help with wheelchair routing! :)

Hi there, what is your reasoning for moving the curb nodes on this crossing? Generally, we position them so they are on the spot where the sidewalk meets the road, not part-way up.

please leave the address in the future :)

Reverted because you dragged nodes all over the place.

Expect 360° images on Mapillary by Sunday!

I'll be surveying this lane on the weekend and adding the separation details. Thanks for putting the lane in. :)

Could you please link to this discussion? It is not documented anywhere.

Significant stretches of this REM have no curbs, and it does not make sense to make them as a separate way. I am following the standard on the wiki:

> Cycling infrastructure that is an inherent part of a road – particularly "cycle lanes" which are a part of the road – should usually not be tagged as a separate cycleway, but by adding the cycleway=* tag to an existing highway=* instead.

Hello, and thank you for adding in sidewalks! If you continue, could you please read my guide as to how others in the area are drawing them? It would be nice if we could keep it consistent, and also provide the right amount of detail to help mobility-impaired users. :)

If you'd like to look at how they've been done elsewhere, I've finished pretty much all of LaSalle just on the other side of the canal.

> car il n'y a pas encore de tag pour des "connectors" entre les rues et les entrées de parc par exemple.

Il y a `cycleway=link`

Hi, and thanks for drawing in missing buildings. Could you please make sure to use the correct offset (0.6,-1.54) for Bing imagery so that your work aligns with that of other mappers? Thanks!

Imported clothing, jewelry, artisan goods, incense, musical instruments. This shop specializes in a wide variety of goods imported from Nepal. Believe me, I had to think pretty hard about how to tag this one.

Such "import shops" are pretty common in places I've lived.

To indicate that a section of sidewalk is of poor smoothness, you can cut it from the main section (add nodes at the transition points by double-clicking, then press X) and change its smoothness value. Please do not use `name=` for smoothness data.

smoothness=*

Please fix the tree the you dragged across a street, and the building that you dragged out of shape.

Hello, and thank you for your contribution!

If you will be mapping sidewalks in the Montréal area, could you please read my guide here? @une%20abeille/diary/402005
These guidelines will ensure that the data we add will be the most useful as possible for people with mobility limitations. You can also examine the sidewalks in areas Rosemont, where all of the sidewalks have been drawn to this standard.

Please also make sure you're using the correct offset for Bing imagery. For Montréal, this is 0.6,-1.54
osm.wiki/Montr%C3%A9al

Please do not name the footways "Ramp" — this is a "descriptive name" and not correct.

They were absolutely not drawn in the middle of the physical sidewalk, because you were not using the correct imagery offset as described in my comment to you. You also drew the curb nodes directly on the sidewalks, as I talk about in my guide as being something that we are trying to avoid in Montréal. There were also issues with the tagging. If you'd like to contribute sidewalk data again, please make sure to use the correct offset, and take a look at the mapped sidewalks in Rosemont for a template that you can examine the tagging on.

Please tell your professor that the OSM community would appreciate it if they would provide better training for their students before having them edit OSM. (Discussion here: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/current-influx-of-students-mapping-poorly-in-montreal/120635)

There are ways to allow students to work on an OSM sandbox that doesn't make actual edits to the data. This would be a better option for your professor, if they do not wish to carefully validate edits. I have already spent several hours of my personal time fixing errors, and would prefer to avoid spending more time doing so.
