The montebello case is a special one with the COVID-19 related closures. The city had converted a number of streets to "slow streets" and closed them but the program was not popular and all of the restrictions have been lifted EXCEPT for Lake Montebello. There has always been a segregated section of that road for recreation but there used to be a section open to cars. Now that is closed to cars so we've got effectively two parallel cycleway/path loops. That may change once the Harford Road bridge is reopened... TBD.

For these slipways, I've raised the question on Slack and added some photos. I'm thinking it would be better to go back to the way you had it before, but I'd love to see what the community thinks. https://osmus.slack.com/archives/C2VJAJCS0/p1626287506192400

This raised a good question that I thought to ask some colleagues at DOT what the intended use is. I'd thought cycleway based on how a similar thing was done here, near the Maryland Ave Track. I believe the goal is traffic calming either way. If we went back with some sort of road feature, I'd mark it as hgv=no and all the rest, but I don't know enough about data users to know if they'd respect those. We could ask some of the local Lyft and Amazon mappers to weigh in. Here's example: way/461263392

Nice! What do you think about switching those slipramps to cycleway? That helps a bit with our PeopleForBikes score and is essentially what the ramps are now. It is assumed that all motorized modes are prohibited now, rather than having it be a link. I made the change based on how I recall it last time I rolled through there, see what you think. I'm taking the track home tonight and will take a look again.

I just updated all of the sites and added various attributes (like picnic table and such)

Hey I was just here today and looking at these sites. Nice edit here. Do you think the loop sites (camp pitches) should be capitalized? e.g. a19 --> A19

Cool, I figured nothing ill will intended. Do you know if NPS has a similar site assignment of its sites deeper in the park?

Hey Sparks! I see you removed the campsite tag from a lot of things in this changeset. I was just down at the park today and saw how all the RV sites are. Those shouldn't be tagged as campsites but rather this: tourism=camp_pitch

I just learned of this tag today. The RV park should be tagged differently too. What do you think?

I feel ya, no worries. I've been working on other things too.

If you want to go HAM with the art as a project, you can refer to this airtable: https://airtable.com/shrA5X2E2zGry6yV6/tbllZKrFysTV8XVzp

I started doing some of it, there's a lot though node/7823645378

I have a dataset of murals in the city I'd love to map. Only comment here is that I believe they're best tagged as a point on the way, like this one below, since the wiki says they should be a point only.

Getting bored of our neighborhood project? Almost to the finish line!

Hi M86! I work for MDOT State Highway Administration (eplack@mdot.maryland.gov) and we're responsible for the inventory and maintenance of park & rides in Maryland. By adding this to OSM, you've done us a great service because it already appears on some maps we use. Thank you!! We just sent a crew out today to take some measurements. I'll update OSM with as much as I can from that collection. Let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. -Elliott

I've fixed this issue by rolling back the changeset. Please do not add separate ways for turns/ramps/etc that are only separated by paint. There needs to be a median for a separate way.

Iosgino: please be careful working around intersections like this with turn restrictions. This edit broke the turn restriction. Data users that use OSM data for routing can break this way.

iosgino: MD-795 is an unsigned route. We do not add the ref shield to unsigned routes in Maryland. MDOT SHA (for which I work) has a plethora of unsigned routes like MD 795. We don't add them to the map because they would confuse the traveling public because they'd look for a sign for MD 795 based on turn-by-turn directions. Such a sign does not exist. Thus, that reference should be added as an unsigned_ref

iosgino, please do not convert ramps (motorway_link) to regular highways without discussing with the local community. The ramps are set this way per community standards and are in use by a variety of data consumers. The last edit I made reverted your previous change to the ramps (for which you were blocked by the OSM DWG).

If it is in the Census 2020 place file than we can add it back no problem. It should be if it is still incorporated.

This appears to have deleted a township relation that CityStrides has flagged as needing a fix (see https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1F9eB2cteelcdHXMTmMuXg4dIp_lkHWopKajzhJnhCpw/edit#gid=1175818776 )

Perhaps the relation was wiped in error? Just trying to help out with that list.

Hey there, remember what we just discussed in osm.org/user_blocks/5081 about meaningful comments? In this case, perhaps you could say, 'removed service road due to new construction.' That'd be a great comment. And no one will second guess these edits :)

I took care of the buildings. The copy paste is necessary because it creates a flag on bad changeset comments. If you follow the terms of the block you recieved from the DWG, you should not run into any trouble. One thing you can do to avoid trouble is instead of deleting stuff when there's a construction change, change the lifecycle prefix to something that tells other mappers (who may be looking at some other imagery) that this thing is recently deleted. Try this: osm.wiki/Lifecycle_prefix

In one of these "massive cleanup" changes you'd removed a construction area where the work was complete. Instead of deleting, why not change the landuse to residential, commercial, or otherwise? That is why the construction landuse has a tag for the construction type.

As a courtesy to other mappers, I try to avoid deleting anything they've done. You can do the same with lifecycle prefixes and repurposing of items.
