Hi, what street-level imagery was used to observe the Bailey Avenue protected bike lane?

I am primarily trying to understand the designated bicycle routing through the intersection with W 230th St.

Thanks I will read through that resource. Since 2014, do you know if the OSM building positions have been updated with more recent survey data? Do you know if there is any ongoing process to update this data?

I checked the current building footprints dataset against the building positions in OSM, and there appears to be an offset between many building locations (particularly north-south) across the various areas I compared.

Can you tell me more about how the building outlines are derived from the NYC DOB? Is this an automatic process, or is the Building Footprints data used directly for comparison and edits to OSM?

Hi, in this changeset a number of trees were added to the centerline of East 14th Street. It looks like these may have been placed with an incorrect offset. Could you update them to their intended locations when you have a chance? Thanks!

Hi, I noticed a few issues with this changeset related to street connectivity:
- The south end of Beach 33rd Street passes through two chain link fences
- The service road extension at Beach 36th Street also routes through a fence

Details of these connections may not be visible in aerial imagery, but ground surveys confirm these connections are not physically accessible.

I'll proceed to correct these specific routing errors. When mapping from imagery, please cross-check with recent survey data and other map information. Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks I'll evaluate these in relation to building outlines. I was going to revert this changeset but it looks like you have already done that.

For North Conduit Avenue, are there any signs indicating bicycles are prohibited on those ways? In NY State, other than certain types of named roadways (e.g. expressway), bicycles are allowed on all roadways unless there are explicit signs prohibiting access.

Hi, I noticed that some edits from a few months ago have been reverted (deletion of the sidewalk:both separate) tag as one example. I'm not sure if that was intentional because the tag was added back a few days later. Could you check that you have up to date map data, perhaps these reverts are occurring because historical data is being used?

Thank you!

Thanks for the quick updates, was just checking if these recent changes were added.

Thank you!

Description should have been for changing the surface type on this way!

Meant to tag change with source=survey.

Is it standard practice to have informal ways meant for cyclists alongside another way that has the `bicycle=permissive` tag?

Asking about way/1001065267, which leads to the same road as way/538817698, other than terminating at the node with Continental Avenue which is an opposing oneway way.

So I'm unsure how this eases bicycle travel when the adjacent way is usable by cyclists. Is the informal way meant to be used as a shortcut to then travel backwards down the oneway way?

I would expect most routing software would not suggest that as a route.

Yes on page 34. Yes it is implemented, I was physically there on 2023-08-11.

The changes are reverted. Do you know of any mapped examples where there is a pedestrian street similar to this one, with no physical division with the street, and no crossings other than the ones indicated by the dedicated footways?

One block north on East Gun Hill Road, Seymour Avenue is mapped similar to these changes; even though there was once a split in the road. Should a pedestrian street be added there as well?

The DOT documentation for these changes indicates these areas as painted curb extensions, with the remaining street proceeding in a single direction. Are curb extensions usually indicated as pedestrian streets?

It was to add in the larger pedestrian area, following how similar areas were mapped such as in Fort Greene Park. I see now that the documentation says to use both lines and areas, so will add back the through connections even though there is no linear route.

Thank you. I pulled the data and visualized it separately, but this resource looks to show similar info!

It can be added back as a pedestrian street, but would that be accurate because the connection to East Gun Hill Road doesn't go anywhere? There are no crossings at that node, or the Knapp Street / Fenton Avenue node.
