12024-08-30 06:08UW Maddie I also made some images for mapillary in parts of the surveyed area where new street level imagery was missing. they seem to still be processing though and haven't been made available as of the changeset submission time though

I was curious what was the idea with https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/11207531/history I've not seen anything like it. Maybe an experiment that didn't pan out? hmmm
22024-08-16 07:04UW Maddie Yes, I was under instruction to make relations out of "complex intersections" at the time. I do not know what these relations were supposed to be for, but they don't seem to need me to add them anymore so I stopped a while ago.

Gotcha. No problem. I'll clean 'em up if I get a chance.
42024-08-16 07:13UW Maddie Before you do that could I ask what they're for? In case there's some software need for them. It was different work from what I do in Seattle

Oh yeah, no problem. No rush on my side. They aren't causing me any issues. Just curiosity.

I will await more info.
62024-08-16 22:01UW Maddie I've confirmed that these intersection relations were a now unused experiment that can be removed.

surface = asphalt
surfaces = paved (older entry with typo)

Hi there, did you intentionally delete part of Olive Way (between 9th Ave and Boren Ave)?
22023-03-20 21:40UW Maddie No, that must be a mistake when deleting crossing nodes to improve the crossings. Sorry about that
32023-03-20 21:46UW Maddie I don't know how to use them but there are apparently tools for restoring deleted objects like potlatch and whodidit. Do you want me learn to fix this myself or are you doing it?

No worries, mistakes happen! I'll plan on undeleting it, just wanted to double check if there was a reason for it so I didn't trample anything. Thanks!

Hi 0wu,

I think you're being much too generous with what counts as a "footway" in changesets like this. I just walked along Dayton Ave N an hour ago, and some of the sections you've tagged as footway are just a gravel shoulder. The east side, just north of N 85th St, doesn...

Hello! This changeset reverts the updated alignment of reconstructed curb ramps and crossings along N 80th St. This is one of the streets that I sent in the list that you asked for.

Please check the version history of an element before adjusting it with outdated imagery.

Thanks!
22022-10-03 03:22UW Maddie I wasn'y using outdated imagery for this, I saw your message about the construction, this is referencing the streetside imagery which is new enough to include the newly constructed curbs, some of which were actually missing
32022-10-03 03:28UW Maddie And I know they're all new because they have tactile pads absent from the aerial imagery and match mapillary feeds from 2021 and 2022

Hi 0wu, thanks for the reply. I'm referring to the angles of the curb ramps which changed after the construction. For example, this changeset moves some ramps back to the ~45 degree angle shown in the older Bing aerial imagery. However, the construction replaced a few of these with straight ang...

Oh...

Dr. Caspi introduced me to the OpenSidewalks Tasking manager today. I just noticed that the iD instance in this tool doesn't have the newer King County aerial imagery option. You may wish to cross-reference changes made through the tasking manager with KC 2021 imagery available in the...
62022-10-03 04:36UW Maddie That sounds good, but how do I access this imagery within the editor? Also I was using the 2021 streetside imagery for 80th, not the aerial imagery, for example the southwest corner of Densmore and 80th had an extra wide single curb added rather than 2, so now I have this question: should that type ...

To access the imagery in the editor on openstreetmap.org, open the "Background Settings" panel on the right, and choose the "King County Orthoimagery (2021)" option. The imagery offset settings are at the bottom of the panel.

To improve the representation of those wide curbs when using two nodes, we could connect both nodes with a way tagged with:

barrier=kerb
kerb=*
tactile_paving=yes

This way they're connected by a single feature for anyone who happens to want that data.
92022-10-03 07:25Cy R
♦21
Ah, I figured out how to get the KC 2021 imagery into the tasking manager:

1. Open the background settings panel
2. Choose the "Custom" option
3. Paste this URL: https://gismaps.kingcounty.gov/arcgis/rest/services/BaseMaps/KingCo_Aerial_2021/MapServer/WMTS/tile/1.0.0/BaseMaps_KingCo_A...
102022-10-03 07:40UW Maddie I got it to work. And yes I like this idea of mapping the wide curbs as 2 rather than 1 for this purpose so I'll start doing that, but I'm not sure if the extra way is necessary

Hello again! This changeset removes a new curb ramp and reverts updated crossing alignments. The city rebuilt most of the crossings along Lake City Way. I've been working on correcting the alignment and details in these areas.

(At the intersection of Lake City Way and Northgate Way, that is).

By the way, why do you split sidewalks ways into multiple redundant segments? I've been merging these together when I see them, but I can stop doing that if there's a good reason to keep the extra ways.

(Other mappers have been merging these back together as well).
52022-08-31 21:04UW Maddie I split the lines where they are intersected by another walkable path.

At least ways 788344891 and 788344901 appear (at ground level) to be shoulders, not footways. Is there some indication I'm not seeing that would make them footways instead of shoulders?
22022-08-31 07:42UW Maddie How do we tag shoulders? We're tagging these as footways to specify a walkable path separated from the road for opensidewalks. I don't see any documentation about how to tag shoulders for this purpose. The only thing the wiki calls "shoulders" is something for cars to pull aside ...
32022-08-31 07:45UW Maddie The reason why I didn't label them as sidewalks is because these paths are not separated from the road in any way like a proper sidewalk, making them not technically sidewalks but rather a type of foot path without a specific tag designated for them. I cannot use the existing shoulder tag becau...

Hello! Seattle has not implemented request buttons and sound signals at every signalized crossing. No need to add these tags unless you're sure. I've fixed a few of these, but it's easier to keep track of what needs to be resurveyed when the tags are not already present.

22022-08-30 14:05UW Maddie But those were not sound signal tags, they're foot signals tags I was told to input for when visual pedestrian signals are present. If I add that or add button operated tags, it's always after verifying that the signals and buttons exist with street level imagery, so I am sure about those....
32022-08-30 14:32UW Maddie Wait a minute, I see what you mean. Yeah it appears that there are some sound tags still from here from last year. I don't add those anymore, but some still remain, and should be removed if they're inaccurate. But it looks like some of my "traffic_signals:foot=yes" tags are being...

Hi 0wu,

I was biking down Sand Point Way today, and the sidewalks you added along that street mostly don't seem to exist. Rather, I just saw a regular shoulder on each side, which can be used for car parking and isn't dedicated to pedestrians.
