Changeset When Comment
108679380 over 4 years ago

I'm probably going to revert this changeset for the following reasons:

1) The new address is wrong (1st street is 7 blocks west)
2) A building geometry was moved (not in and of itself a problem, but you failed to square the geometry after the move). And I'd probably check with an imagery offset (I added one at the intersection of North Avenue and 12th street for most major imagery providers). See the imagery offset database.

A couple of comments:
1) You probably cannot use that map as a source ("© 2020 COLORADO MESA UNIVERSITY") unless you have gotten permission from the college.
2) You modified the geometry of the college so it was in the road. Please don't do that.

Just an FYI, I *have* georeferenced all the major imagery sources in the area using the imagery offset database.

Unfortunately, the editor you are using doesn't pull from that database, and JOSM requires a plugin for that.

Anyway, just so you know, Mesa County GIS has allowed us to use their (much more) up to date imagery for tracing in OpenStreetMap. You can see it by clicking on the "Background Settings" button in iD (keyboard shortcut "b") and select "Mesa County GIS Valleywide 2018".

JOSM also has access to the 2019 (County wide) and 2020 (Grand Valley) aerial photos with the names starting as "Mesa County GIS".

Hi there. It is nice to see someone else editing in this area using StreetComplete. It does look like you might have just been visiting, based off of your editing activity.

If you ever to edit using JOSM in the area, I *have* georeferenced all the major imagery providers using survey monuments in the imagery offset database.

And Mesa County GIS has allowed us to use their (much more) up to date imagery for tracing in OpenStreetMap.

Just an FYI, but please do *not* align geometry to any of the global imageries (ESRI, Maxar, etc.) in this local area _without_ getting an offset. I have a few offsets in the imagery offset db ~15 miles away set to a survey monument.

There are also local imageries available (Mesa County GIS NAIP 2019) which is (a) clearer and (b) more accurate.

For traffic signals on oneways, you really don't need to add `traffic_signals:direction`. (See the traffic signals at the intersection of West Aspen Avenue and South Cherry Street).

Please pay attention to your warnings. Specifically, the crossing highway warning. I fixed this issue in changeset/110536485 .

Just an FYI, I *have* georeferenced all the available imagery using the imagery offset database.

As you are a professional editor (based off of the iD host), you should try to use the best available imagery in each area you edit, with the appropriate offsets. The nearest survey monument I've aligned the standard imagery to is ~1 mile north of this edit location.

Comment should be "Add minspeeds"

I didn't see anything off -- I just saw `iD 2.19.6` which doesn't integrate with the layer offset db, and I figured I'd point it out due to the use of `improve alignment` in the comment. That and "Bing" as an imagery source.

I do have some aerial imagery in Palisade I need to process so that I can add some offset points there, but aligning to Strava traces should help a lot (compared to non-aligned imagery).

Just so you know, different imagery's have different real-world offsets.

Quick question for you: which image did you use to verify the road signs?
All the street level imagery I have access to indicates that the speed limit is 65 mph, not 75 mph.

104599605 over 4 years ago

No worries -- I just did not want you to spend a lot of time realigning stuff to later discover that it was pointless.

The Mesa County imagery is pretty good (<2m to reality), so if something is wildly off from that, you can probably move it. Or if it is a road imported from TIGER (look for the `tiger:reviewed=no` tag).

Also, if you (a) have an android phone and (b) like walking, you can take a look at StreetComplete.

The iD editor (what you used for this changeset) is pretty friendly for new editors, so don't worry about messing things up too badly. Just don't do mass edits (e.g., convert all `building=house` into `building=yes`).

If it helps, I do watch Mesa County for changesets not my own, and often comment.

Just so you know, different imagery's have different real-world offsets, so absent an imagery with a known-good offset, don't bother moving buildings like this.

Hello, I dropped the description you added to 1911 North 10th Street (generally speaking, `description` and `name` aren't on `building=residential`, and this does not look like an exception).

If you want to add the unit numbers, feel free. :)

Thanks for this update -- I moved the name over to a pitch that enclosed the pitch you edited, and deleted the pitch you modified. I did reference this changeset so that someone can follow the history back.

A few notes on this change:
`addr:street=Norrth Avenue` is probably wrong. For starters `North` is spelled wrong (probably a typo -- everyone makes them), and the address is likely for the entire CMU campus, not specifically for the Health Sciences building (which you added a point inside -- why?). I've gone ahead and copied the singular bit of additional information onto the building (`internet_access=yes`), and I've modified the building tag to be `building=university` -- the `amenity` for the university already exists on way/423652248 .

No problem. It was your first edit, after all. :)

iD can square buildings with `Q`, so they are better/more accurate. It also looks like these should be tagged as `building=static_caravan` (mobile homes) instead of `building=house`.
