Hello! I noticed this changeset removes trails on the basis of 'the original adder does not want them used'. I understand your concern about these 'rogue bike trails' potentially crossing environmentally sensitive areas, however the consensus among the OSM community is that what should be mapped on OSM should be reflected on ground truth. In other words, as long as this trail is physically there, it should be mapped. The OSMUS Trails Working Group has devised a comprehensive tagging scheme to address this sort of issue (osm.wiki/United_States/Trails_Stewardship_Initiative#Suggested_tagging). For social trails like these, `informal=yes` should be added to indicate that this isn't officially designated as a trail by the public land operator. The main goal of OSM is to get the most accurate geospatial data of the world, and the community's sentiment is that it's up to consumers of OSM data to choose whether or not to render certain data, including these user-made trails. If this is something you're passionate about, I encourage you to join the #trails channel on the OSMUS Slack and discuss this further with other members of the community that are more familiar with this issue https://openstreetmap.us/get-involved/slack/

It's convention for modifiers in ref to be left unabbreviated osm.wiki/United_States_roads_tagging/Routes#Nationwide

Unless this has changed very recently, the only section of the 405 that has tolled express lanes is between the 605 and 73

Although it is true that many tourists visit Laguna Beach, given its population is only ~20K it wasn't considered a population center of inter-regional importance (although it looks like it was listed as a potential borderline case). osm.wiki/California/2022_Highway_Classification_Guidelines

The US community has also been trying to form a more coherent network of motorways and trunk roads in recent years, and avoiding spurs and islands of these classifications as mentioned here:
osm.wiki/United_States/2021_Highway_Classification_Guidance#Classification

Because of this, I think it's best to leave Laguna Canyon as primary before further discussion with the community.

Given that this stretch mainly consists of RIRO junctions, this would be considered a borderline case as outlined in this wiki article: osm.wiki/United_States/2021_Highway_Classification_Guidance#Exceptions_and_Borderline_Cases

Because of this, this stretch of Central shouldn't be changed from its current classification without consultation with the local community. I ask that you please revert these changes until consensus is reached with the community.

I noticed that you accidentally glued a powerline to a sidewalk in this changeset. I understand that it can be easy to unintentionally glue things to each other in iD, this issue can be prevented in the future by opening the Map Data panel in the editor (keyboard shortcut 'U') and unchecking 'Power Features' under 'Map Features'.

Hi and welcome to OpenStreetMap!
Thank you for fixing this street name. Please note, however, that we don't abbreviate street names in OSM (see osm.wiki/abbreviations for more info). In this case, 'S McKern Ct' should be expanded to 'South McKern Court'
