11235671~ 8 years agoopenedRichRicoIs the name of the place "Blakesley Corner " instead of "Blackesley Corner"? Can someone please confirm the same and update the map accordingly if yes?
2~ 10 months agocommentedRDreher
♦48
No, this place is apparently called Blackesley Corner. Here is a mention of the place with this spelling from the Chenango County Historical Society: https://chenangohistorical.org/town/coventry/ The government website of the town of Coventry itself does not list this hamlet, but NY hamlets can often be rather informal. http://coventryny.com/ The Blakesely Rd might be named wrong. I will check this next.
3~ 10 months agocommentedRDreher
♦48
Oh, wait, I may have to do more double checking. This NYSDTF document lists the hamlet as Blakesley. From reading about this history of this area, the Blakesley family is mentioned a lot. It is possible the historical society got it wrong.

I found a historic maps which shows this as the home of H.A. "Blakelee" lol. https://historicmapworks.com/Map/US/1498/Coventry++Columbus+Town++Coventry+Town/Chenango+County+1875/New+York/ The discrepancy in spelling is very annoying, but it likely has to do with the fact that historically spelling was way more fast and loose. "Blackesley Corner" appears far more often in google searches than "Blakesley Corner," so it's likely that this place has been spelled wrong so long that it's kind of stuck, but all these mentions are likely just reading from maps, not from any official records or government sources. However, hamlets do not get much official recognition in NY, not like towns or villages. Blakesley seems more correct to me, but as of now I have about equal grounds for both. The local historical society, which should know the region well, says it's Blackesley, but the state government says it's Blakesley.

Either what you are talking about has already been changed, or I cannot understand the description.

I can infer the name of this private drive by the address of 27 Fox Run Ln, but otherwise I can't find any confirmation of the name. NYSDOT doesn't list this lane, because it's clearly not a publicly maintained way, and the street view imagery I can find is very old (Oct 2015). I'll add it for now, but someone might want to do a survey or contact local administration to better confirm.

Ugh, this area is a mess. There's a lot of crap there that doesn't seem to be exist anymore, if it ever did. I don't even know where to begin with it.
3~ 10 months agocommentedRDreher
♦48
I looked into NYSDOT's RIS viewer and their local highway inventory and two things are clear to me: they do not have these mapped in a way that makes sense either, and this is likely because they are not public roads maintained by the town. Without any further information it's hard to fix this mess, but I have made a first attempt. Using lots of satellite images, and assuming the addresses to be correct, I mapped the area in a way that is hopefully a little closer to reality. It's hard to know for sure the details of which forest covered dirt roads are which, so we will ultimately still need a local to go and survey the area to see if and how they are marked.

1~ 1 year agoopened---This section is actually old Indian Rd according to signs in real life
2~ 10 months agocommentedRDreher
♦48
I think you are mistaken. The NYDOT makes it clear that CR11 Lattintown Rd is continued from Cemetery Rd to CR 10 Milton Tpke. They do not list it as ending at Old Indian Rd and then beginning again at another part of Old Indian Rd. Old Indian Rd is however listed as ending and then beginning at Lattintown Rd. https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/engineering/technical-services/hds-respository/NYSDOT_2022_LHI_Local_Roads_and_Streets_Ulster_County.pdf
3~ 10 months agocommentedRDreher
♦48
I suspect you misinterpreted the signs in real life. If they haven't changed since the street level photos I can find, it's looks to me that they are ambiguous as to whether Old Indian Rd is just the spur coming off the bigger road at each intersection, or if it is continuous through here. The layout of the road however suggests that Lattintown Rd is meant to be the continuous one. The way the road curve smoothly, the way the lines are continuous, and the fact that there are stop signs for Old Indian but not for Lattintown in any direction, suggests that this section is very much meant to be and managed as a section of the County Route, not town road. Considering this together with the fact that NYDOT does not mention a stretch of Old Indian Rd as part of CR11, unless you have some further evidence for your case I think it's safe to say the map is correct as is.

Yeash, I love a good bike ride but that sounds miserable. If this is just a reminder to yourself, write a sticky note or something. No need to insist someone else slog their way up a mountain on what's probably an overgrown grubby path if anything. Recent satellite imagery around here shows very little to suggest there's anything left of a road if there ever was one. I'm going to change it so Woods Rd Ext, which was wrongly labelled just Woods Rd, ends by the last house to have an address on it. The path after that looks like land access trail to me. I can follow some of the path up to just south of here, but the rest I'll just delete for now. If somebody want to survey the area they can feel free to do so. I would guess they'd just discover even less road exists than I'm going to leave up.

Thus, this Huntersland Hill Rd is wrongly named here. https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/engineering/technical-services/hds-respository/NYSDOT_2022_LHI_Local_Roads_and_Streets_Schoharie_County.pdf I will correct the map to reflect this official information.

What the crap needs to be reviewed? Do you want to check if East Red Mill Rd is in fact CR35. You don't need to survey anything for that. Street view imagery shows a CR 35 sign for East Red Mill Rd at the intersection with NY 32. NYDOT data describes East Red Mill Rd as CR35 for it's entire length. It's definitely part of CR35. The other part of CR35 is West Rd, all the way to 81. You can see the signs for CR35 with street view imagery. Is there any other issue that needs checking on the ground?

It's very recent at that (2024). https://www.sullivanny.gov/sites/default/files/departments/DPW/2024%20DPW%20Program%20Rev%201.pdf I will make the edits.

There's no Strava activity near the note location. Doesn't mean this isn't a trail though

I've hiked the trails here. From what I remember, there is no trail around the point marked that connects the D&H Canal Towpath trail and the Upper O&W Trail of Wurtsboro Ridge State Forest, nor the trail that goes from there to the old lead mines. The area between the two trails is marked as dangerous due to lead contamination and hikers are not permitted to traverse it. If there is some old road or trail around there, it's likely been reclaimed by the forest by now, thought some trace of it could be lurking.

I have found more information, https://dec.ny.gov/sites/default/files/mapwurtsbororidgesf.pdf The Mine Trail appears to connect the upper and lower railroad trails according to this official map. I hiked from the north on the upper rail trail and got to the gate were the east side of the mine trail connects, then turned back, but it seems like the connection to the west is ever so slightly more south than I hiked. On the lower rail trail/ canal trail my memory is more hazy. The path might have been blocked off, as like I said the area is contaminated. However, I will go hiking again there sometime and check these paths out again to confirm.

Ok, today I hiked both the upper O&W trail here and the lower trail. What I found was that the place on the upper (east) side that looked like it might be or have been a linking trail looked more like a dried stream bed. The opening near the upper trail looks like it was once a man made slope, but it was eroded away, overgrown, and covered in fallen trees. At the bottom of the hillside, it was flooded. On the lower west side, I saw no opening east toward the upper trail. Instead, it was inaccessible wetlands, very flooded from our recent rain in particular. Furthermore, the signs prohibiting trail going east into the lead contaminated woods start very close to McDonald Rd, and continue all the way to large open area covered in gravel that used to be part of the lead mine. With no sign of a trail, and considering the prohibition on hiking there, I am confident that I was right the first time that there is no longer any trail here. The trail that would have been here was, according to the official map I shared earlier, never marked, so if it is not in anyway maintained and the area is too contaminated to hike, then we can safely say it no longer exists as a trail. I will edit the area accordingly.

Old Mine Road is probably discontinuous here. Survey to investigate the nature and access of this portion of road.

Let me tell you a story. One day there was a giant-ass accident in Kerhonkson preventing me from continuing North on 209. There was a stupid fat fireman doing a crappy and confusing job of directing traffic, and when I told him I couldn't understand him he was just condescending and rude to me. Worthless trash of a human. Not knowing what best to do I went west onto Clay Hill Rd trying to figure out how to circle town. My GPS took me to Old Mine Road, only for me to discover it's not really a road anymore past the point you've marked with a comment. It's just as the satellite imagery shows. It becomes just the driveway or access road for building there, and the rest of the road is abandoned and overgrown. The drive does go south though, and seems to connect to 209 down there, but it's still a driveway, probably not welcome to threw traffic. I already told Google Maps to correct this, and I will mark more details here too. Sadly my GPS map doesn't run on either of these.

This is what I can find so far: in this obituary, a "Becker Street Chapel" is mentioned as existing in Schenectady 1959. Maybe it used to exist somewhere around here, but I don't know where yet. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/uticaod/name/marjorie-morton-obituary?id=23818686

Ok, I think I solved it. According to this site, Becker Street Chapel was a branch of the Plymouth Brethren at 1531 Becker St. Schenectady between 1941-1968. This is now the location of Shri Raam Mandir, a Hindu temple. https://brethrenpedia.org/index.php?title=New_York&mobileaction=toggle_view_desktop

This area used to be a water treatment facility, long, long ago. Currently though, it seems to be used by the village parks department, as I've seen them store equipment here. I removed the water treatment feature from the map, as it's out of date, but is there an appropriate area type I could have changed it to? I'd like for there to be an area I can map here so I can mark what it is and maybe add a tag for what it was, so nobody gets confused by outdated satellite info.

checking to verify if this trunk link is the correct way to note a turning lane with a bike lane in the middle of the lane: turning lane: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1382499351 bike lane: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1382499355 it seems there may be a better way to map these especially since the bike lane is disconnected from any roadway and the turn lane does not hit the stop light right now, perhaps instead using tags on the main way: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/682824636 to note bike lane and turning lane and removing these two ways?

Ok, so I looked up how bike lanes in roads are supposed to be dealt with, and I clearly did it wrong here. I figured out how to add cycleway:right=lane to the stretch of road instead. I let my fury for this stupid, useless, meaningless stretch of bike lane that I absolutely abhor misguide me. I just had this urge to stick it in so others can see this random joke for bike infrastructure and be like "what the crap is up with that nonsense?" There's no reason to have the link in there now so I took that back too of course.

confirmation needed on whether this fire station here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1359400687 still contains fire apparatuses and operates as a fire station or if the fire apparatuses and main function has instead fully moved over to the new fire house here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1359400690 which is already correctly mapped. If they have moved over to the new fire house, suggest updating the tags on this older building to be building=fire_station to note its structure and remove the amenity=fire_station and keep the existing was:amenity=fire_station to note its lifecycle. Only fire stations that actively operate and house fire apparatuses should have the amenity=fire_station tag per https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dfire_station
2~ 11 months agocommentedRDreher

Well, I hadn't heard anything about what is happening to the old fire station and so I just thought keeping it labelled as a fire station for now made the most sense. The move to the new station, has just been completed mere months ago. But since you insist that everything be peachy perfect I looked it up, and according to local news it's being converted into "village office space," but this is "phase two" of a plan that requires more money to be complete. As far as I'm concerned the building is still intrinsically a fire station, just an empty one, and will be nothing else for the foreseeable future, but if you insist I can just change it to a "building."

Great, thats good information. I think probably the best solution would be to tag it with: building=fire_station to note its a fire station structure and also tag it with was:amenity=fire_station to note its no longer a space someone would consider an active fire station, rather it used to be and will signify its past use to other users. Does that work?

I'm adding the building=fire_station. I didn't know that I could play with that tag in that way. Now I have another way to get sucked into adding ungodly amounts of details instead of going to bed. The was:amenity tag seems to have be set to fire_station already.

The idea occurred to me to use a neighborhood, though it's really not a neighborhood, just a particular intersection. This seems like the closest thing though.

potentially could also be considered a 'square' since its mainly a road junction https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Aplace%3Dsquare which may be more informative than neighborhood
