Please avoid making large changesets that span multiple continents. This clutters up the History tab on the OSM website. This could easily have been two separate changesets.

In addition, the roads you added are located in a parking lot, rather than a residential area, so highway=service would be more appropriate than highway=residential.

Also, in my experience, most mappers frown on the idea of mapping landuse as multipolygons with shared ways in between. You might consider just creating single ways for each landuse area.

Hi Natfoot,

Thanks for adding more landcover here! Did you add name=G 2 on purpose to the grassland?

Also, I recommend not using Bing imagery to trace along the Columbia shoreline here. It was taken when the water level was way higher than normal and some areas were flooded.

I see you're on the OSM World discord server if you want to chat there.

Thanks!

You beat me to it lol, I was going to run out and survey these roads today

What's your justification for changing this road to a trunk?

Sawyer777,

Thanks for your contributions. It is generally best practice to split up changesets like this, rather than covering a large geographic area in a single changeset. Changesets like this end up clogging the "History" view on the OpenStreetMap website.

Thanks!

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap! It's great to see local organizations take initiative on updating the map. I look forward to seeing more of your work!

Is this location correct? All I can see here is an open field.

Please remember to add detailed changeset comments that help other mappers know what you added!

Hi Lorae,

Thanks for helping add farmland and other landuse! A few tips for moving forward:

Try not to attach landuse areas to non-landuse features like roads or boundaries. This makes it harder to edit the landuse in the future, because now it's tangled up with other features.

Make sure to check newer imagery periodically to make sure you aren't adding features that don't exist anymore. Esri imagery and Oregon Statewide imagery are usually the newest imagery available; Bing hasn't updated in several years.

If an area is used for grazing animals rather than growing crops, it should be tagged as landuse=meadow and not landuse=farmland. Same for any other semi-maintained areas of grassland.

Otherwise keep up the good work!

Out of curiosity, what is your justification for changing the classification of this highway?

Piss off bot

♥️

Honestly I have no idea. I don't live in Wenatchee but I hiked some of these trails while visiting once, and I didn't notice any No Trespassing signs. Based on that and the fact that they're noticable on Strava, I would assume they're open to the public. But again I'm not from the area so I'm definitely not an authoritative source. Feel free to do your own research.

There's no reason to remove "unnecessary" data if it's correctly mapped. All good data is useful, even if it's just to make the map prettier.

Gavin Gervais,

Can you please explain your reasoning for tagging this as a highway=trunk? Per the wiki, highway=trunk should be used for major non-motorway roads that connect regional population centers. This route just dead-ends in the 200 Area industrial area.

Hello dbqeditor,

Lot numbers are not the same as address numbers. The actual addresses for these parcels can be found on the county's GIS page: https://gisportal.franklin.co.franklin.wa.us/arcgisportal2/apps/experiencebuilder/experience/?id=d6f10a2da68d462f8822a49e3e51d665#data_s=id%3AdataSource_1-199588549dc-layer-14-12%3A728

Also, make sure you're only using sources that are compatible with OpenStreetMap's open data license.

Hi Natfoot,

Are you sure about this? On the newest Esri imagery it looks like this section of rail has been removed entirely and can be deleted from the map.

Hell yeah

Hey Omnific,

This feature seems a bit redundant to me. It's already encompassed by a WDFW nature preserve, and the parking lot is labeled with the access area name. I'm also not sure if this meets the wiki definition of a park, since it's closer to a nature preserve or recreation ground. I'll leave it up to you though.
