Welcome to OSM! Please don't use abbreviation on street names. Stands the abbreviation cmn for common?
22018-02-07 09:30VetTrnrDraco User_5359, thank you for the feedback. I however was not the one to originally lay out the route I merely corrected it's path. When I am at my computer later I will update that. I am curious though as to why that one matters over St, Rd, or Ave?

42018-02-07 13:27VetTrnrDraco I appreciate the feedback, I have updated the road name. My best guess is to use the local nomenclature. I live in the area and wouldn't even try to edit areas in Europe or Canada as I have no firsthand knowledge of those places.

Welcome to OSM! Please don't mark the whole property as building. Only mark the building as building.
