Hi Stephen, do you know if the construction way/1388119671 is completed yet?

actually I'll wait a little to see if they respond to your message

Sounds good, I'll restore the tags and comment on that changeset

I think it's pretty clear that the site is private property. I'm not really sure how notable the archeological site is or its exact location. I think ideally the tags should be retained and labelled access=private but it's not a disaster, probably of minimal public interest

Hi, sorry if it wasn't clear, the fixme tag is a request to add a missing ref. NBN nodes usually have a ref like "2KTB-03-05-FNO-001" or so. Needs to be surveyed in person

Hi, do you know for sure that there are bridges at way/1221714115? From what I can tell from GPS traces, the path does not actually cross the stream here (though I have not surveyed it)

Hi, thanks for adding tracks around Hassans Walls Reserve. I am wondering if the names "Pony Express" "Channel 6" etc are perhaps local/mountain bike trail names? If so I can tag them as such. Cheers

Ah, thanks. Yes it certainly is in the middle.

Whoops, my bad. Thanks for alerting me. I fixed it in 169317662

I've reversed the change to "contruction" from "proposed" between Katoomba and Mt Victoria as there is no construction.

absolute legend

Hi, thanks for your edits. I'm wondering what the source for way/1270653098 is as it does not appear on imagery and seems dubious.
Cheers

Hi, I was under the impression that the GWH upgrade project was paused, do you have any info regarding the edit to the section between medlow bath and katoomba?

I think `motor_vehicle=private` `foot=designated` `bicycle=designated` is sufficient, considering `motor_vehicle=private` encompasses the only significant access restriction

Hi, I feel like the access=no tag on way/22731635 is ambiguous given that foot=designated. Just confirming, it is accessible by foot? I understand there is a gate at the western entrance to Ingar Road that can be bypassed on foot but restricts access to cars.

I have marked all trails on 3 Binstead Street and 58 Sir Henrys Parade as private.

Hi, this looks like a suspicious edit as I cannot see evidence for these roads. Please make sure you do not upload test data or false data.

I think this has erased a lot of the landuse=residential here. Should it be added back as multiple multipolygons?

Sounds good msleath, I think that matches up with how it is now.
Regarding the visualisation;
OpenStreetMap under the hood is more like a "database" rather than a finished map.
What you see on the standard view of this website is just one possible representation ("rendering") of the data, kind of like a font. Many organisations use OpenStreetMap data and then create their own map style.
