| 155344197 | One last tip—OSMCha is a terrific tool for viewing (and reviewing) OSM changesets, as it shows you the actual changes made on the map. You can check out my followup changeset at https://osmcha.org/changesets/155448900 (and feel free to review it, too!) |
|
| 155344197 | Also, a few more specific tips on the details, which I've also implemented in my followup: - Make sure the name of the POI is accurate :) In this case, the name of this POI (per its website that you linked), is Kibbles on Main (plural)
|
|
| 155344197 | Here are some suggestions to level up your OSM-fu further! I've implemented all of these in the followup changeset changeset/155448900 - If you've confirmed "on the ground" that this store currently exists at this location, which is the considered the "gold standard" of OSM contributions, make sure to include "Survey" under the Sources field of the changeset (right under the changeset comment in iD), and/or any other sources you've used.

| 155344197 | Hi Caitlyn, and welcome to OSM! Thanks for your contribution, and for requesting feedback on your changeset. Seeing as your edits are in or near two of the three areas I regularly map, I figured I'd step up and review them! Just to make sure (since it can be pretty unclear for new users), requesting a review just adds a flag to your changeset asking your fellow mappers to give you feedback on it; otherwise your changeset goes live on the map immediately as normal. Overall, looks like a great change! You added a POI with an appropriate type, address and some useful contact details. Thanks!

| 154874348 | Speaking of which, on a related (heh) note—I see the cycleway along Beamer Way connecting the Huckleberry trail along Southgate with that just north of the airport is part of the Huckleberry Trail route relation, but doesn't have `name=Huckleberry Trail` like the others. Is that an oversight that should be fixed, or is there a reason for that, do you know? Thanks! |
|
| 154874371 | And on that note, I fixed the crossing ways for the cycleway connecting the segment of Huckleberry Trail along Southgate with that just north of the airport to be cycleway rather than footway crossings. |
|
| 154874371 | Gotcha, thanks! It seems my initial confusion stemmed from misreading the wiki guidance to say that cycleway crossings should only be used when cycleway crossings have a legal status distinct from _footway crossings_ as opposed to a distinct status from _plain cycleways_, which is why I initially tagged this (and others) as a footway crossing instead of a cycleway crossing (despite the latter seeming more intuitive). Given both the legal status and also my misread, its clear tagging this as the latter indeed makes more sense, thanks, and I'll keep that in mind for other crossings. |
|
| 154874348 | Ah gotcha—that makes more sense; I thought I might be missing some context. I couldn't see just from comparing those two changesets what was being restored relative to mine, except for possibly the relation, so I just assumed it must have been that. Thanks for the explanation and taking care of the fix! |

| 154874371 | Hey, so since it looks like you have quite a bit of experience mapping cycleways in OSM, I'd really appreciate your insight on the appropriate method of mapping cycleway or dual-use foot/cycleway crossings. Intuitively, tagging as `cycleway=crossing` seemed to make the most sense, as you've reverted to here. However, when I checked the wiki page for this tag, cycleway=crossing , it said: > This tag is only to be used in countries where cycle crossings have a legal status (for instance having right of way when an ordinary cycleway wouldn’t). My assumption from the examples presented and my understanding of cycling law in the US (versus Europe) was that this was not the case here, but upon further thought it seems I might have misunderstood and in fact this is appropriate after all, with cyclelists having right of way over cars at this junction without dismounting? Thanks!

|
| 154874348 | Hey, thanks—its not entirely clear from the OSMCha UI, but I'm guessing I accidently broke the Huckleberry Trail route relation here in my previous Southgate changeset? I usually try to be careful to not do so and ensure any split/combining of way segments preserve relations, but I guess I must have gotten a bit too complacent here trusting in JOSM to either do the right thing automatically or warn me if the situation was ambiguous, as it usually does.

|
| 150883788 | Thanks for the fixes! In the original change I was just typing the tags free-text into Rapid's text field, and for whatever reason I didn't catch it in my later pass with the JOSM validator, despite fixing another tag value on the same object.
