Nice!

Hi AVRiskscape!

I guess something went wrong when naming that one street?
I'm pretty sure it's not called "-34.014604,18.706037".

Cheers

Nice!

Micro-mapping for the the win!
(Keep up the good work)

Hi habi and captain slow,
I'm 99% sure this was just a mistake from my side- sorry!
I probably accidentally copied some tags from the Carmenstrasse way.
If I remember correctly (from 1 year ago), I was just mapping the sidewalks, not trying to update/change any street names.
I will be more careful going forward!
Best,
Chris

Hi Tokoloshe13,

Since you haven't replied, and since this is clearly not the right location for this point of interest, I am going to remove it from the map.
Let me know if I should add it back somewhere else (i.e. if it really exists somewhere else).

Best,

Chris

Hi Tokoloshe13,

You have added this item right at the entrance of national parliament complex, which makes me highly suspicious that this is not the right location. Does this office really exist? If so, where exactly?

Please let me know, otherwise we have to remove this node from the map.

Best,

Chris

Awesome 👍

Nice!

(Looking at the current shops on the map is a little like going into a time-machine, I grew up in this area at this time)

Hi Grant!

Some very nice improvements in this changeset!

A lot of the shops that are mapped here all are super out of date (mapped about 15 years ago). Luckily Woodlands Boulevard has a very nice mall map: https://woodlandsboulevard.co.za/mall-map#/

It's on my to-do list to update the map here, feel free to join in (if you're into mapping points of interest).

Cheers,
Chris

(Finally) Fixed in osm.org/changeset/150161696

Cool, sounds good to me.
Thanks for the quick reply.

Hi Matthias, Chris here.
Just checking, is this really a park? Or more like church grounds that include some grassy areas?
Maybe landuse=grass would be a better fit here.
Let me know what you think
Cheers

Hi d_berger,
Thanks for the comment.
In cases like these, I try to map what's on the ground, as it says in the OpenStreetMap wiki: osm.wiki/Good_practice#Map_what's_on_the_ground
(i.e. ground situation is more important than official source)

I live close to Oerlikon, and I regularly pass through this area. In this case, it was clear to me that this part of Edisonstrasse has sidewalks and curbs (and some parking that separates them), whereas Welchogasse clearly does not (it only has a single space that is shared by pedestrians and vehicles). So even though they are both classified as living streets, where pedestrians are permitted to use the "Verkehrsfläche", I though it would be appropriate to map the sidewalks on Edisonstrasse, along with the appropriate crossings. This also better reflects the reality of how people walk along this street.
Let me know what you think!

BTW thanks for pointing out on some of my other edits that the "foot=use_sidepath" is better than "foot=no" on streets where sidewalks are explicitly mapped. I switched to using this tag now.

Cheers
Chris

Hi Urs, thanks for the comment!
1) I think the reason that I disconnected that middle part was because I strongly suspected that it is a "highway=footway" (10 months ago, can't remember exactly). But looking at it now I agree that "highway=service" is actually better (and then it should definitely be connected).
2) Sorry for disconnecting the driveway next to house no. 71, that was clearly just a mistake on my part!
Wishing you a nice Easter as well!
Chris
