♦69		Maybe. The other postbox further down botley road became a solar "smart" postbox. Before that it was taped up like this one. Anyway I will update when there is a change 😃

Category: unknown		1~ 10 months agoopened---Not convinced this "path" merits inclusion - it's not an RoW (albeit there's a historic bridleway on either side), there's no surfacing nor crossing infrastructure (not even a dropped kerb), it's just an occasionally used desire line

♦304		(oops, didn't notice I wasn't logged in)
3~ 30 days agoclosedgmar5
♦654		I have tagged it as an informal crossing, instead of removing it. The desire line in the grass is visible in all images, it seems well used. Since it connects two PRoW, I think leaving it mapped is likely to be useful.

Category: unknown		1~ 11 months agoopenedAndrew Chadwick
♦819		Encountered a duplicated 55 here on the end of what I've redone as an odd-number 'addr:interpolation'. I've demoted it to 53, but the numbering might need checking. [for info and to save me the bother of remembering it in future]: Based on the Mogridge Drive numbering, these are street addresses ('addr:housenumber') that just happen to be physically inside an apartment block. That means the building name does not form part of the address: they can't each individually be "Russet House", that's a separate object. If they were 'addr:unit's, things would be different, but they aren't. 'addr:interpolation' cannot interpolate 'addr:unit' or 'addr:flats', just 'addr:housenumber' nodes on the end, *such* a pain. Blame the folks who came up with the Karlsruhe addressing schema for OSM, not me!
2~ 1 month agoclosedgmar5
♦654		This was the correct 55, while the other one was 57, with 59 missing. Now fixed. Thanks.

♦819		I've tagged it as suspected:designation=public_footpath according to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Access_provisions_in_the_United_Kingdom#Public_Rights_of_Way Checked with public OS data (specifically the "Public Rights of Way" layer in JOSM). We cannot use "the OS map" as a source, but certain OS data releases under OGL are free to use. That's a start. Really, this entire path North of here to Church Hanborough needs checking on the ground in order to determine its proper RoW designation.

While it makes sense to include the exclusive access driveway to a school in it's area, here this school is mapped with a seemingly non existent road area, especially here where the note is. Hard to explain in words but the geometry clearly needs improving https://openstreetmap.org/way/454327549 "Farm Road" may also be incorrectly attributed to one side of this note, so the nearby roads will also need checking

♦819		Suburb node "Cutteslowe" https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/14191310 within suburb relation "North Oxford" https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/13046270 (which has a proper label node of its own). The hierarchy's gone a little odd if that's happening. Idk if North Oxford should encompass Oxford North. Should Wolvercote contain Wolvercote Cemetary? Perhaps Summertown, Sunnymead, and Cutteslowe should be promoted to suburbs (ideally if we can figure out the boundaries - Cutteslowe should be easy, given its history) Or should Cutteslowe be downgraded to an OSM quarter?
2~ 1 year agocommentedgmar5
♦654		I would be in favour of upgrading Summertown to a suburb, given its prominence in local use and its own retail centre. North Oxford can be limited to the more central southern part. Cutteslowe would remain a suburb (note that it extends to the south of the A40). Sunnymead should remain a lower tier, quarter is probably fine (nested, I am not sure, within Cutteslowe or Summertown, or both — city neighbourhoods are not and don't need to be always very precise). The area between the railway/Woodstock Road and Banbury Road is a bit of a no man's land in my mind. I would say that (Upper) Wolvercote ends at the railway line. Wolvercote Cemetery is in Cutteslowe now. Not sure about the Blandford/Davenant/etc. part (it could be Sunnymead?). Too early to say about Oxford North. The canal-side can be Wolvercote. The rest could be Peartree or its own small neighbourhood-tier place. I am happy to sort out these edits, but I'd welcome points of views, given the uncertain nature of the matter.

♦819		Address interpolations cannot run along the outside of a building, and these addresses will not work correctly. These need an interpolation way instead, leading from somewhere near the main entrance to "inside", away from the main entrance to convey corect meaning, if we can't go inside and find where all the corridors and staircases really are :) Separate stairway-exclusive address ranges work similarly, if there's an external door to the siaircase. See Cooper House and Marina House for how it's supposed to be done. Since these are street addresses, not flat addresses, the house name is unneccessary for the address. The only alternatives is addr:place and addr:parentstreet, but that's very counterintuitive. It is sufficient if all the addresses as interpolated are within the building outline. addr:housename has the same level of meaning as addr:housenumber. It is not subordinate.
2~ 7 months agocommentedgmar5
♦654		The wiki at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses#Interpolation says: > Some mappers use addr:interpolation=* on a single object to indicate that its addr:housenumber=* is to be treated as a range rather than an atomic label (discussed above). There is not a consensus on whether this is appropriate. I am one of those mappers. The interpolation tag on the same object as the number range is clean and makes perfect logical sense. Since there is no consensus and both methods are documented, I don't think we can say that it "cannot go" there or how it is "supposed to be done". Creating a fictional interpolation segment, where numbers are in fact not between the two physical locations, looks like tagging for the renderer (or search engine) in my opinion. If the search engine cannot find an address, it is a problem of the engine, not necessarily of the tagging method. On your second point, addresses here look like this: FLAT 2, COOPER HOUSE, WILLIAM MORRIS CLOSE, OXFORD, OX4 2DE It happens that the flat numbers also seem to follow the street numeration, so addr:housenumber might be more useful than addr:flats, but in any case the building name should be part of the address, and addr:housename seems more appropriate and intuitive than addr:parentstreet.

2~ 1 year agocommentedDorneyLake123
♦6,074		same question for the other nearby islands as well tbh
3~ 1 year agocommentedgmar5
♦654		Do you mean that we should tag these areas, currently used as inner elements of the river Cherwell water multipolygon, as place=islet? (They are too small to be islands). I suppose we could, but I am not sure that it is helpful. It is just land surrounded by different rivers and ditches, which is quite common in the floodplain. If they had a proper name (like Osney Island), it would be different.
4~ 1 year agocommentedDorneyLake123
♦6,074		place=islet doesn't have to be an inner relation in complex circumstances such as this btw. My question was really - is this an island with a name as opposed to a patch of land that just so happens to be enclosed by water, hence the name "Water Meadow" (which doesn't take up the full extent of the 'island') If we were to look at the East Midlands I'm sure there are many similar plots of farmland enclosed by drains, and I wouldn't argue that they were islets, but given we're looking at Oxford I just thought maybe the collegiate would name these islands - does that make sense?
5~ 1 year agocommentedDorneyLake123
♦6,074		Tangentially, I would argue (pending verification) that Magdalen College don't own the waterways and should be split across them (multipolygon outer relations), in the same way it's split over "High Street" to the south https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/12605258
6~ 1 year agocommentedgmar5
♦654		Re your first point, I think "Water Meadow" is the name of the "meadow" element. Perhaps originally it was fully enclosed by water. Now, it is fenced off, and surrounded by a compacted-ground path, it does not reach the water. I think it looks fine as is. The larger area could be tagged as an islet, if you want. Your second point is something we can try to verify, you are probably right (should bridges be included, though?).
7~ 1 year agocommentedDorneyLake123
♦6,074		I think it would make sense to have a place=islet as it would re-affirm "this is where the water ends", especially if someone is looking at an OSM-derived map without footpaths. Whether it's noname=yes or has some identifier produced by a government survey or Oxford geologian (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/geologian) from the pre-modern era would be a detail that could be captured after this note is closed. To the contrary of my second point, the OSMUK Cadastrel Parcels don't have a boundary for Magdalen College. I would expect there to be a border between freehold vs crown land, as is the case with the kings highway and major rivers. Maybe Magdalen College does indeed own the water. This would be a niche detail to capture but thinking ahead, if OSM were to be used by kayakers etc to establish where they can go with a Waterways Licence, knowing that the college owns the water would be useful, especially if they have the right to close them to waterway traffic.

There are historical records of ownership of both waters and fishing of the Cherwell, so it is very possible that is the same for the colleges, who own or owned most of the land in Oxford, acquired from the dissolution of monasteries and enclosures. (However, I do find the lack of clarity on the cadastral map for Magdalen a bit puzzling.) For access by users on the waterways, tags on the rivers themselves will be the best way of representing that, regardless of ownership and of the shape of the area the cut through. (You can close the note if you think it is resolved. Thanks).

♦819		Did some work on the X1, under a new route_master rel: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/19325458. Wantage→Oxford is now in, and I've reviewed/added/deleted a bunch of changed stops between North Abingdon and Grove, matching them to NaPTAN

♦819		Did a chunk of work on the X40 under https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/295458. There's a few missing stops on the return leg that need highway=bus_stop + public_transport=platform for Relatify to see them. Once all the stops are in, it needs the X40 variant with Littlemore adding, as well as its 40C and NX40 variants.

♦819		The middle #-shape of sidewalks need adding here, along with crossings where peoplw would actually cross. Also need to check tags, since I think footway=sidewalk is missing from a lot of them, and there were a few sidewalk=separate tags on the sidewalks themselves. Honestly, this is probably too much detail for most residential estates while we're still getting the pavements mapped on major roads. I'll still be prioritising those over this area. They do join up the park, shops, churches, and major road though, and this old 1930s(?) estate at least has interestingly shaped pavements to map.
2~ 11 months agocommentedgmar5
♦654		Hi. I just wanted to note that sidewalks need to be regularly linked to the roads, even if there are no technical crossings (maybe at intersections? unless crossing is explicitly impossible), otherwise routing becomes impossibles — and therefore it would be a case of higher level of micro-mapping actually producing worse usability.
3~ 11 months agocommentedAndrew Chadwick
♦819		I know. I'm prioritising major roads at the moment precisely because we can devote some extra routing thought to them, between crossings. It often needs a bit of on the ground checking to make sure you're choosing a natural place, however. Perhaps even people-watching for a bit to see how people do cross. ------------------ At the risk of hijacking this note, how do you feel about establishing some vague criteria for when to put a hint in? Q1: Which tags to use? Perhaps we could settle on (for the way) highway=footway footway=link (for the crossing) highway=crossing crossing=informal note=(some note about evidence) At reasonably verifiable natural place (whatever that means). That gives somewhere for Street Complete users to hang kerbstone details, anyway. Q2: How far apart should hint-crossings be? Perhaps we could say that if a stretch is over 50 metres between formal crossings, that's too much and we need to hint the router? Example where we can add something beyond what the intersecting roads give: https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=51.748442&mlon=-1.257894#map=19/51.748442/-1.257894&layers=N (perhaps two, one near the bus stop and one to the east of the marker somewhere, if people cross there?) or to join up and de-island-ify these long traffic-islandish pseudo-pavement stepping stones between the two formal crossings at Summertown, where everybody who can seems to use those to cross, despite how busy the road gets https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=51.748442&mlon=-1.257894#map=19/51.777822/-1.265112&layers=N (perhaps one hint at each end of the island?)

♦819		Alternative scheme 1: (crossing way) highway=footway footway=crossing crossing=informal (for the crossing) highway=crossing crossing=informal Alternative 2: Low formality. Don't bother tagging the node, and (for the crossing way) highway=footway footway=link (but with short stretches of leader sidewalk that might cause StreetComplete to ask about kerbs. Or it might not. I should test this)
5~ 11 months agocommentedgmar5
♦654		To take this area where the note is as an example: I'd say that there are informal crossings continuing straight from the pavements parallel to Croft Road, when they curve inside the cul-de-sacs. These would be an informal crossing on both way and node (Alt. 1). However, at the end of the cul-de-sacs, the pavement needs connecting to the turning circles (on the two sides, since they look Y shaped). That would be a link, not a crossing (Alt. 2).
6~ 11 months agocommentedgmar5
♦654		(Actually, there seem to be yellow lowered kerbs here, so it would be unmarked, not informal, in this case, but I hope my general point is clear.)
7~ 11 months agocommentedgmar5
♦654		This is how I'd do it: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/168318234 Can you check that it makes sense? That said, I'd agree with your first post, that separate mapping is not worth it for most residential roads.

♦819		Looks about right. I've had a go at carrying through the same idea based on a little survey this evening. * There are arguably links inside the car parking blocks, but in practice they're difficult to use because the cars are in the way. * Obviously a lot has happened over the years, and some of the footpaths linking house to road have been converted into driveways. The driveways still serve as foot links, however. Anyway, that's probably it for this bit. Still too much detail for a residential area, but at least it's better detail now!

♦11		https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/32824152 this bridge was out of order when I tried to use it earlier in the week. I asked at the Sandford Lock House about it and they said it was likely be unusable for somewhere between a "month to a year" while being checked and appropriate repairs performed. note sure if/how to indicate this on the map, noting closure until Jan 2026 might be reasonable?
2~ 11 months agocommentedgmar5
♦654		We can tag it as access=no. And leave the note open as a reminder to check when repair works are completed. Is only this bridge close, or a longer section of the path, with walkers redirected on the Kennington Meadow side?
3~ 11 months agocommentedsamasonuk
♦11		I believe it's just the bridge. I only spoke with people at the lock about it, I didn't actually walk along to see what state it was in. The last few times I've gone over the bridge it's been a bit dilapidated with a bit of OSB covering what I assume was a hole.
4~ 11 months agocommentedgmar5
♦654		I have checked: only the bridge is fenced off. I updated the access tags, which can be changed back once it reopens.
