I will note that as of now their website has a page for the cafe, but I spoke to an employee who said it was supposed to be removed. Hopefully they will soon.

Since you have not responded I'm just going to change it back. Still happy to discuss.

Why did you mark the Dover Community Trail is an "abandoned" railway? I marked it as "razed" because it's completely gone, save for the tunnel structure which I left labeled as "abandoned".

I should have noted - I split the building into parts because the old part was the old Strafford court house. I don't think the new part was.

Thank you for your reply.

As for the node, the only thing I care about is that I can properly align the bridge's outline with the path segment across it. But only *relative* to each other, since I don't have super accurate GPS for absolute placement. That said, I assume that the aerial photos show the accurate *angle* of the bridge, so I'll go by that. I can make the minimum adjustment and then move the bridge outline to match it.

As for "abandoned": do I understand you correctly that you intend to revert my change and mark these railroads as "abandoned" again, instead of "razed"? If so, this doesn't match what the wiki says:

railway=abandoned - "...where the rails have been removed but the route is still visible with ties/sleepers, signals or other railroad right of way signs or infrastructure"

There is *no visible sign* of the railroads in the places I've marked "razed". There is one old tunnel, and I left that marked as "abandoned". That said, you mentioned a "grading" in this context and maybe that explains it but I'm not sure what you mean here.

As for the name change of the razed railroad, that's of less interest to me so I'll let you sort that out with the railroad community. I just don't want a physical structure to show up on the map that isn't actually there.

Thanks.

And relatedly, I was looking at node #195067585 and it looks like the placement was slightly adjusted by this changeset. Was that intentional? I was thinking of fixing the placement of the trail vis a vis the bridge there, and I wanted to ask about that first.

I'm curious about the "Boston and Maine Portsmouth to Dover" route. Is it historical? At least in Dover, it coincides with part of the Dover Community Trail, which is built on a railroad that I've marked as "razed" because it's not visible at all anymore. I would have removed the railroad tags entirely but I wasn't sure about removing some of the historical railroad info there.

Bridge name came from a plaque on the bridge

Sorry about that, the history is a little confusing at least via the website. Multiple segments of "Silk Road" have "v1" attributed to this changeset, so I thought that meant that you created them. Perhaps this is the result of you deleting and recreating them to remove the overlap, or something like that.

145863655 about 1 year ago

My understanding is that Body Freedom, Silk Road, and I'm guessing Night Owls, Quiet RV, and Quiet/Family as well, are part of Porcfest, and not Rogers' permanent setup. I know you didn't add all of these but you added at least Silk Road here.

I think temporary features like this are generally frowned upon, because they don't exist outside of the time frame. Even if you delete it after the event, there's a lag before which apps like Organic Maps gets the data.

osm.wiki/Good_practice#Don't_map_temporary_events_and_temporary_features

That said, there seem to be proposals for temporary features, which would be awesome here:

osm.wiki/Proposal:Temporary_(conditional)

BTW it's awesome that you guys added the individual campsites. It crossed my mind to do that at some point as well. Looks like there's movement on making them show up on Organic Maps.

I visited node/10032246172 which you marked as a viewpoint here. It didn't seem especially like a viewpoint to me. It's placed just off-trail in a wooded area. Not much to look at, with trees blocking most things. Just the intersection of some trails, not at a small peak or cliff. Was it a mistake? I can post pictures if you'd like.

Hi,

I made a change to something you added in this changeset. I changed some "abandoned" to "razed". I was wondering if you could take a quick look? I give details in the "Discussion" that should explain why I wanted you to peek at it.

changeset/155748886

Thanks!

The segment along the parking lot, btw, is way/1055270213

155748886 over 1 year ago

I went with "razed" instead of deleting for two reasons:

1) The segment across the Amtrak parking lot got *added* 2 years ago which seems surprising. Did the editor have a different source? Perhaps it was physically still present 2 years ago, but the change that created it was large spanning. I wonder if they were using aerial photos or something. I will point them to this change in case they want to comment, perhaps suggesting that I just delete this segment at this point.

2) There are other tags about the railroad history that I didn't want to delete without people more familiar with that world to look at it. With that said, I am happy to delete whatever people in that area suggest I delete.

The one exception to my deletion, btw, is the Silver Street tunnel because it still physically seems to be an abandoned railway tunnel.

Ah great you were able to submit this.

I noticed that one of your streams looked off compared to LiDAR. I realized that it may be because it was connected to a node in the river that I adjusted AFTER you made the edit but BEFORE you saved it? I fixed it here:

way/1310957142/history/2

I was just about to change this myself, I shouldn't have left this part blank when I updated this earlier.

How would you feel about making it fast_food rather than restaurant? amenity=fast_food

I guess that's all I want to clarify.

The historic buildings are in a large museum of sorts. Afaik they were all transported there. So they're not in their historic locations.
