"Each parking area feature should be mapped as a contiguous area. [...] Individual parking rows should not be mapped as separate parking areas. To get that level of detail, individual parking spaces can be mapped separately with amenity=parking_space."
amenity=parking

If you put a note on each of them, I can try to confirm the ones in my area while I'm out. :)

By chance did this remove the ones that no longer exist? I've wondered in the past if there was any easy way to keep these updated, given that they move them so often.

When you do these, perhaps please check that you are realigning the elements correctly if you move them. We use an offset of 0.6,-1.54 for Bing imagery here, and your edit misaligned this feature. I have fixed it

It's the OpenSidewalks standard.

https://github.com/OpenSidewalks/OpenSidewalks-Schema/blob/32dad18bb303289f660fd8d26f02f5e301d0a9d1/OpenSidewalks_Mapping_Guide_P1.pdf

If a short footway is not used to divide the curb node from the sidewalk centerline, then the router interprets the user as needing to navigate a curb in order to go around a corner, when this is not the case in reality. This doesn't impact routing for most users, but it is necessary for routing for users with mobility concerns.

As for the naming, in my tests, short enough segments of footway are ignored in TTS routing instructions, so their lack of names hasn't presented a problem. Giving sidewalk segments names at all seems to be a divisive topic (since the sidewalk itself isn't inherently named "Rue Sherbrooke Est," for example, it's merely associated with the street of that name,) but having the names on the main segments has produced good routing directions in all my tests.

Welcome to the community, and thanks for contributing. :)

Hi there, I believe you may have inadvertently changed this building back to its old shape. Bing imagery is from 2020, and this appears to be what you traced. Esri imagery is from May 2023 and shows a geometry much closer to what this building looked like before your edit. Could you please double check?

147234473 almost 2 years ago

If you switch to Esri imagery you can see the actual footprint of the building, if you'd like to refine this changeset to be as accurate as possible. The existing geometry represents the entire lot, not just the building.

Yes, sorry, it was a copy-pasted message I was sending to all the new accounts from today, so that if they keep contributing they'll have the right information going forward.

I wonder if the RTL stuff would be importable in any way now that everything is semi-merged under the ARTM?

Hello, and welcome to OpenStreetMap!

In Montreal we use an offset of 0.6, -1.54 for the 2020 Bing imagery that is the default in iD editor. If you draw or realign elements, please change your offset to this value in iD by going into the Background Settings (shortcut: B key) and scrolling to the bottom to find Imagery Offset.
osm.wiki/Montr%C3%A9al

It appears that you have drawn a cycle path on a road that was already tagged as having one. (way/1160738173) It is difficult to tell from looking, but this way has tags that indicate the road has a dedicated cycle path. Renderers such as CyclOSM use this to display the cycle path.

It's also good practice to keep your changes local to one area. If you'd like to edit things in multiple cities or countries, please save your work before moving on to the next one. :)

Thanks for contributing!

It looks like you have created a duplicate of an element that already exists. (Original: way/78567717, yours: way/1247689595.) If the park is indeed under construction, you should add this information to the tags of the original park, not as a description. Descriptions do not actually change things on the map in a way that can be used by renderers.

I see that you have added a park node here and requested review. Generally parks are drawn as areas, not nodes. But this appears to be a school grounds, so it should probably not be marked as a park.

Could you provide your source for the changes to this "playground?" It appears to be a skate park on aerial imagery, and it seems that it was correctly tagged already. Is the name official?

For shops that have closed, please tag them as vacant rather than writing a description. You may also wish to remove the shop name and contact information, as they are no longer relevant.
