Hi,

Could you confirm where you got the shape for the park from? It looks like it came from the county tax parcels, which is an acceptable source, but I just want to confirm before adding it to the source tag.

Hi,

Somehow the relations didn't carry over when you split this way: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1351485284

I'll fix it; I just wanted to point it out so that you could figure out what might have been the cause.

I was changing NY-119 to primary, so I selected all members in that relation and changed them together. When checking my work, I noticed that this part had not been changed, so I looked at it and saw that it wasn't part of any relations.

Do you download data from Overpass? Otherwise if you u...

Hi,

I believe that highway=motorway_junction nodes generally aren't supposed to have name=* values in the US; to express where the exit leads to, use destination=*, destination:street=*, destination:ref=*, etc.
2 ~ 1 year agoCanyon Runner Yes you're right. Feel free to correct it. I may have made a mistake and tagged the wrong thing! Thanks for finding it.

Hi,
this looks like an import rather than hand drawn shapes from imagery. What is the source of the data and is the license compatible with ODbL?
2 ~ 1 year agoMateusz Konieczny

send them a PM

it appears to be import of city gis data from https://next.axisgis.com/BedfordNY/

note https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines
3 ~ 1 year agoCanyon Runner Yes this is a mix of hand drawn and also town building data. The license is compatible. It's listed on the Westchester contribution here https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors under United states -> New York -> Westchester

Thanks for replying. I see several problems here.

1) You didn't follow any of the steps from the import guidelines. At minimum, please create an import documentation page on osm wiki where you detail where you downloaded the data from, how were they processed, where you asked for permission ...
5 ~ 1 year agoMateusz Konieczny
♦9,736
And please comment here on whether you plan doing any of that, and then comment if anything was done

In particular, license needs to be checked ASAP

In future, especially during imports, do NOT make a false source claims.
6 ~ 1 year agoCanyon Runner Apologies about that. I will reach out to westchester county again to get an updated permission, and will work on a wiki page. ive done smaller edits, but wasnt aware of the import guide. thank you!

Hi,
is there any update on the license compatibility issue?
8 ~ 1 year agoCanyon Runner Yes! License still stands, contacted Courtney Wieber of Westchester County. I am currently working on the import plan based off of the information provided earlier to work on a whole county import. Thank you everyone for the information, and will post a link here, as well as the local communities on...

Hi,

I know this is late, but you may be interested in the "Gridify" plugin in JOSM. It makes mapping parking spaces much, much easier.

The New York City DEP map at https://www.nyc.gov/assets/dep/downloads/pdf/recreation/area-maps/Angle_Fly.pdf shows this area as two separate properties with different ownership and access restrictions. The west one is owned by New York City Bureau of Water Supply, and the east one is Town of Somers....

Good changeset, just a few things I want to point out:

- If you map a building and there's already an address node on it, you can copy the tags from the old node to the new building, and delete the node. This is preferred for simple buildings like houses.
- The cemetery probably shouldn...

Hello.
You added an area and tagged it as building:part=yes, but didn't add any other tags. Also looking at the available satellite imagery it doesn't seem like this is actually a part of the building structure and instead just a front lawn. Could you please elaborate what you are trying...
2 ~ 4 years agoCanyon Runner Of course. This building has a plaza type structure that juts out to the sidewalk level with stairs and gardens. Technically it is part of the property, but isnt a real public park. A few buildings have this type of surround. Wasn't sure what type of tags to use.
3 ~ 4 years agoMxxCon
♦3,528
But that plaza appears to be at a street level, correct? If so then it shouldn't be tagged as "building". The lawn in front could be tagged as grass and it seems like the area along 1st avenue is service ramp up or down? Can't quiet tell from ESRI Clarity imagery.
4 ~ 4 years agoCanyon Runner So I looked up some more examples. I found that a good way to handle would be to encompass the plaza as part of the building itself and use building parts for any details.

The area on first avenue is a ramp into a commercial space. The other plaza is an elevated garden of sorts. I may have tried...

I fixed it up a bit. If you want to, see if you can add any other relevant details there. 🙂👍
