Hi I messaged you privately yesterday about footway quality.

You seem to be editing a ton of footways in a very short period of time. I have been to this part of Long Beach and there are crossings where you mapped a singular sidewalk. Can you please revisit this changeset and add them in?

I think that's fair but what could you use that land for? Scavenger hunt or geocaching perhaps! :D

Admittedly I have not been by that lot in a couple years. Last time I was, it was not a very inviting and overgrown. If there is updated imagery showing things I have changed I am open to that.

That building is new and is definitely taller than 4.7 meters. I didn't have the official records in front of me when I was out surveying. Those are the numbers from the previous building that stood at that spot

the ones I have seen usually are busy leading up to Halloween and are not busy at other times but the store still serves as costume store

The only node I could see (NODE: 5414847333) actually meets the current definition of the public_transport=stop_position "Defines this point as a stop position of the vehicle."

Do you have a specific example which I can refer to?

It was a place maker from when I was passing through. The current imagery does not reflect the construction extent

it is a wheelchair ramp with one less node than it probably should have. It was an attempt at micro mapping the entrance to this building.

No problem! Thank you for mapping kerbs!

Hello can you please explain what you were doing at 69th Street & 59th Road? I understand you were making edits to the kerb but what is "beauty=k" supposed to mean?

See Node: 11034634966

so just so i'm clear, it is necessary to have both a node with traffic signal crossing and a way with traffic signal crossing? I can start adding that level of detail if it is helpful

so would it be better to have a traffic signal node on Avenue Z and not the intersecting node?

you're right. i'll remove it

You mean this one? It was a mistake! sorry about that way/1080103286#map=19/40.75657/-73.89550

Brandon,
That's a good point and I admit I did not consult the wiki before. I may have to go back and adjust the lane counts. Thanks for the tip!

I was using the utilsplugin2 tool to generate intersections of the crossings with existing roadways. Where a crossing node existed already, I digitized the new crossing way to intersect those existing nodes. I probably should have squared the intersections too so they look less irregular.

my bad! I knew I was saying it wrong :P

you are correct. Usually they are accompanied by signs that read "don't block the box". However since this is considered a 'barn dance' intersection, pedestrians are given the option to cross either parallel to road, perpendicular or at a diagonal. OSM to my knowledge doesn't have a better alternative.

Hey I got a question regarding the stairs/escalator you tagged. Are these meant for the passengers to transfer from the walkway towards the airtrain to the train platform or from platform to street level? There is only a single staircase and single escalator. I’m not well versed with the later tags so please forgive me
