154496730 | about 2 months ago | Actually, looks like OSM matches MassGIS so surely this was wrongstanding. Sorry for commenting before checking and nevermind. (I should go check but it has nothing to do with your changes.) |
154496730 | about 2 months ago | Garner Road geometry looks off now, less wiggly than it seems, and not following L3 parcels. I have not figured out if updated in this changeset or not. |
159550541 | about 2 months ago | Please be careful editing trail geometry in Stow. I have been surveying many of them with RTK GNSS and think my data is good to better than 1 m. I try to put that in the changeset comments. (I am not saying you mis-edited anything here; some of them I have not done and those could use improvement. Just that Strava and phone gps is a much lower quality data source than RTK.) |
152885791 | 3 months ago | Certainly the tagging for walgreens could be improved. I'm not really local (same county, not near), so I was really focused on correcting the map data that said there wasn't a pharmacy. You've edited, and I'm guessing you are more local, so of course you should feel free to add more tags. |
152885791 | 3 months ago | What do you mean "'confirming my edit of closing riteaid"? There was a merger/acquisition and it's normal for stores to get rebranded. But perhaps it was announced that the location was permanently closed and then later they changed their mind. |
152885791 | 3 months ago | You marked a rite aid closed, but the walgreen's website says it is operating today. Can you explain why you think there is no pharmacy? Have you been there? A note is open that says it has been renamed as walgreen's: osm.org/note/4048634. I'm going to retag as walgreen's, operating, but happy to discuss if you think reality is different. |
120322827 | 3 months ago | At the end of Larkin Road, it looks to me like the address and =house is on a barn-type structure and the likely house is NNE. I'd just change it if from import, but it looks like you did this on purpose. I am curious what you think now, with 2023 imagery. |
142830111 | 6 months ago | ok, will leave it then. You will notice that I did extend it down the side of the building (#15) to the walkway in front. I was able to walk (easily) from the school parking lot to the parking lot by Maynard Veterinary. I also shorted the emergency way because it is physically blocked, and added a path because you can obviously walk to it (checked by seeing, not actually walked). |
142830111 | 6 months ago | I walked this today, and I didn't really study your drawn trace first, but it felt straightish to me compared to how it looks on the map. ok to straighten, or do you really think it has a semi-circular jog right as you go from school to maynard crossing? |
143391985 | over 1 year ago | If you think you can resolve it on imagery, and fair point about the line, that's totally fine. You might also note the specific surface as while paved is ok, it's broad. Most roads here are "surface=asphalt". At the risk of sending you down a different rabbit hole, StreetComplete is interesting (android app, perhaps also iOS but idk). |
143391985 | over 1 year ago | I put in a note rather than editing because I was only able to see the end while driving (passengering - I try not to map and drive!) from Causeway street. I wonder if you are able to see the road well enough in imagery, or if you observed it on the ground, or somehing else? |
134467366 | over 1 year ago | Yes, I meant that. I will try to add fences if they exist, and I guess mixed-use industrial/commuting is just messy! I can't think of better tagging. |
134467366 | over 1 year ago | Thanks. I will go look sometime as i am in Stow, post storm issues, so please don't innconvenience yourself. sometimes changes are from paid armchair mappers and I am much more deferential in editing to other locals. What didn't make sense was that the shelter building was not obviously reachable from the platform. The ones on the platform seem totally right. Its the big one ese of the South Acton label. |
134467366 | over 1 year ago | Did you actually see the "building=roof" between the 21 Martin lot and the south platform? It doesn't make sense, and I didn't notice it while there, but I didn't know to look. |
133899581 | about 2 years ago | There is a place=locality node at the rotary. The name Maynard Crossing applies to the entire large area, but there are multiple landuses within it, and the name is not appropriate for some of them. Having a relation with a locality tag leads to 2 nominatim hits for what is essentially the same thing. By having just a node, this is similar to locality names at the main interesection of villages. |
121921088 | about 2 years ago | As I understand it, there is an easement to the public for recreation, and I'm pretty sure that's limited to foot/bicycle. There is car traffic, but those are people with permission to be at the airpark. There aren't any no trespassing signs, but permissive requires "owner is known to permit use" which is a much higher bar than "not posted". I'm in the middle of adjusting tagging to make this clearer right now. |
121921088 | about 2 years ago | Also, it's not actually a legal road, so not highway=unclassified, and the signage, at least yesterday, was not at all consistent with permissive. I am unaware of any evidence that the property owners are ok with motor vehicles driving on it for no apparent reason. |
121921088 | about 2 years ago | This name change is incorrect. All locals know that the name of the road is "Track Road". An example official document is https://www.stow-ma.gov/sites/g/files/vyhlif1286/f/pages/01.25.2023_track_road_rfq_final.pdf The name change has since been reverted, so this is just FYI. |
128449607 | over 2 years ago | For name reference, the Stow Historical Society (people who run programs there) refers to it as "West School Museum". |
128449607 | over 2 years ago | This edit is incorrect. I added "West School Museum" in 2009 as a local, and I still think that's right. The website added is not official and appears to be some random site intended to get views for ads. In addition it has incorrect information about hours. I'll fix this (and I pointed out the bad website to the Historical Commission, which acts on behalf of the town. |
