| 5537815 Category: Unknown | 1 | ~ 20 days ago | opened | jayaddison ♦304 | Something's a bit wonky with the step_count=* tagging and way mapping on Jacob's Ladder, I think. From a recent check, there were ~40 or so steps in a group at the lower end, and ~91 or so nearer the top end. There's also a continuous handrail on the south side of the path. I'll re-check soon and then remap. |

Map the building as The Kitchen Network, and then the two food vendor tenants as nodes? (La Polleria and 509 Ramen) | |
| 6 | ~ 1 month ago | commented | jayaddison ♦304 | I'd suggested "Map the building as ..." -- but the building seems to have three addresses; 1, 1a, and 1b, containing an accountants', a stamp shop, and then the Kitchen Network respectively.

| 5433171 Category: Unknown | 1 | ~ 2 months ago | opened | jayaddison ♦304 | From survey/tour today: there is a Changing Places toilet in the building (3rd floor) in addition to multiple accessible toilets. Baby-changing facilities are also available; only in the female bathrooms as far as the signage I noticed indicated. The entire building does appear now to be wheelchair=yes although I admit I do not have first-hand experience of wheelchair accessibility or access. This includes accessibility of the band room and area for performers. (I opportunistically peeked in and was able to look around; I think strictly speaking I should have booked a tour ticket) |
| 2 | ~ 1 month ago | commented | jayaddison ♦304 | "Baby-changing facilities are also available; only in the female bathrooms as far as the signage I noticed indicated."

| 2 | ~ 6 months ago | commented | Chris Fleming ♦1,335 | Did you every hear back on this. - if we don't have any better data then we should remove the fax number as this is clearly wrong. | |
| 3 | ~ 6 months ago | commented | jayaddison ♦304 | Thanks for checking - I replied and provided me with the same seemingly-incorrect fax number - I responded to report that as probably wrong, but it continues to be the one listed on their website. I intended to follow up again but haven't summoned the energy. | |

| 5 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | MagicPocketbook462 ♦369 | One would hope that a business would want their number correct... Did you get the opportunity to follow up again? | |
| 6 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | jayaddison ♦304 | I haven't, no - and the same fax number appears when I check the hotel webpage today. Perhaps we should follow that earlier suggestion to remove the fax number, unless anyone else wants to try confirming it with the hotel? | |
| 7 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | MagicPocketbook462 ♦369 | I'm not quite sure where the fax number was sourced from originally since the initial changeset (https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/68951412) had "+44 131 608 1172" but then was changed remotely with changeset (https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/71338658) if I'm understanding right. Not sure if it's signed on-site but I think we can remove and then add a note that the website is displaying an evidently wrong fax number. | |

Rest of street (to Level Terrace) is temporarily two-way to allow access to on-street parking and garage of 7-13 VS. Formally, cycle lane is closed and diverted around Glengyle Terrace. Pedestrian access still possible. Both Leven Street bus stops are closed due to adjacent related works. Works are 12 January-17 April 2026 and part of Meadows to Union Canal project: https://edinburgh.gov.uk/cycling-walking-projects-1/meadows-union-canal |
| 2 | ~ 4 months ago | commented | jayaddison ♦304 | Valleyfield Street has reopened. Are any mapping adjustments required to reflect that? Way 4268908 for the street has not changed recently, so initially I think not. | |
| 3 | ~ 4 months ago | commented | glawie ♦93 | I don't think so. There's an extra set of stay left bollards at the Leven St end to better demarcate the cycle exit, and the tarmac+pavement are raised a bit and reshaped so the crossing is now step-free with less slopes than it had before. The bike stands aren't back yet - not sure if they're gone for good or returning. | |
| 4 | ~ 4 months ago | commented | glawie ♦93 | And I'm fairly sure the two bus stops are fully removed and not being reinstated. | |
| 5 | ~ 4 months ago | closed | jayaddison ♦304 | Thanks - the cycle parking has been removed (both in reality and from the map :)). Re: the bike stands: apparently those will return; both the ones near the end of Valleyfield Street and also some next to the Scotmid; see: https://buttondown.com/edi.bike/archive/issue-142-27th-apr-26/ I've removed the two bus stops, and will resolve this note.

| 7 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | jayaddison ♦304 | The bicycle stands on Leven Street have been reinstated -- and so has the bus stop on the West (Scotmid) side of the road. Todo: check the bus stop on the other side of the road. Perhaps my previous changeset 183325375 should be reverted, after checking that. | |
| 8 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | glawie ♦93 | Yes, both stops are back - I thought they were permanently removed, but here's the twist: the bus info boards on each note that Lothian does *not* serve them; only used by Houston's (at least currently). West side: pole is outside Neveah. Road markings extend from Sugar & Treats to the door between Silver Joolz and Royal Nails. Roughly where it used to be (maybe longer). East side: pole is outside Saundersons butchers. Road markings extend from Chaskaa (at the south edge) to Shwarma King. (So further south down the road than previously.) | |

| 5 | ~ 4 months ago | commented | jayaddison ♦304 | Yes, it could take a lot of effort -- maybe gradual, incremental changes -- and I would want to be careful to map it in a way that is agreeable and also fairly accurate. My reason for creating the note was to raise awareness for the tag - I noticed an osm.town thread about a lighthouse mapped in a minigolf course in Bognor Regis in the United Kingdom -- and it was a possible tagging adjustment that I thought seemed useful. So I began looking at other places that might use it already (or where I thought it could be helpful).

The blue signage features a more-complex upper half for that symbol, and is on a blue background. Does it make a significant difference to the name? (I cannot read, and find it difficult to enter/lookup, Chinese kanji -- but will try if no-one else is able to inspect this for a while) |

I'll try to check again soon. Note: parking in front of the hotel is certainly disallowed, so access:private seems tagged appropriately there. If this parking does still exist but is not for the general public, perhaps something similar could be sensible. | |
| 3 | ~ 8 months ago | commented | Chris Northcott | Hi Jay, I'm actually on the staff for the building that controls these and am happy to supply more info on this complex if needed. Parking areas 2 and 3 are the shutters under the adjoining Exchange Crescent building to your right. Car Park 1 is next to the security lodge when you turn left. All 3 are staff car parks. The place where this mark sits is an ERVP on official building plans. Sheraton courtyard is public but drop off only, longer term parking is in the underground car park under Capital House and the Sheraton itself. | |
| 4 | ~ 8 months ago | commented | Chris Northcott | Sorry, swapped right and left when describing directions in the above - 2 and 3 are to your left, 1 is to your right. I was picturing it coming down from the Sheraton in my head rather than West Approach. 😅 | |
| 5 | ~ 8 months ago | commented | jayaddison ♦304 | Thanks Chris - I'll plan to visit the parking area to take a look and then to map those details. During my previous visit I thought I understood that the barrier to the South of the Sheraton entryway/plaza indicates that the roadway there is reserved for fire vehicles -- but looking at the map again I don't understand how vehicles could access Capital Square car park. (the reason I'm wondering about that is that I think it would be sensible to tag the roadways behind the barrier as for emergency vehicle access only, assuming that that is correct) What are RVP / ERVP? | |
| 6 | ~ 8 months ago | commented | Chris Northcott | Emergency Rendezvous points (meeting places in case of evacuation). It is sometimes used for vehicles but is not available to the public other than as pedestrian access. The barrier to the south of the Sheraton plaza is indeed for fire vehicles to access the lower levels of Capital House & AtriaOne, although regular access to the Capital Square car park is via the southwestern junction at 55.946612, -3.209000 and there is an underpass that goes past the EICC (55.946556, -3.209389) and AtriaOne (55.946500, -3.208485) loading bays before reaching the car park's entrance opposite the Sheraton loading bay (55.946532, -3.207848). There's also another one way access road that runs directly under Exchange Crescent that links from that junction to 55.947303, -3.208513 - Gmaps shows this road but OSM does not. | |
| 7 | ~ 8 months ago | commented | Chris Northcott | Correction: upon closer inspection Gmaps only shows the pedestrian walkway above, but not the roadway underneath it. | |
| 8 | ~ 8 months ago | commented | jayaddison ♦304 | Ok, great - I think the rendezvous points should be mappable as assembly points: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:emergency%3Dassembly_point ...and that also makes sense about the underpass next to the EICC. So, one-way traffic in from Morrison Street, and then out towards the West Approach Road. I have gone ahead and tagged the barriered segment of road that is for use by fire vehicles as service=emergency_access and emergency=designated -- and also set access=no to indicate to data consumers that it's not routable for vehicles (although I have allowed pedestrian and bicycle routing - so that people can be routed by walking/wheeling from the hotel to the parking garage). I'm not sure exactly when I'll get around to visiting the parking lot (that this thread is originally about!) but I'll try to do that within the next week or two. | |
| 9 | ~ 6 months ago | closed | jayaddison ♦304 | One or two weeks was optimistic; I've taken a look, though, and have removed the amenity=parking tag from the area.

| 2 | ~ 10 months ago | commented | jayaddison ♦304 | The British Heart Foundation still has a location here - there seem to be three units at ground floor, and in order from Northmost to Southmost, those are the Cube (vacant), Starbucks, and then the BHF. | |
| 3 | ~ 10 months ago | commented | osmuser63783 ♦1,331 | Thanks! Both Starbucks and BHF give their addresses as The Cube (47 and 43a Leith Street, respectively) so I wonder if the name should be applied to the whole building | |
| 4 | ~ 10 months ago | commented | jayaddison ♦304 | I think that The Cube is currently the name for the entire building, and is when it was constructed. Whether it'll remain if The Cube (office management business) ceases to exist as a named entity there, and/or whether to include The Cube in the ground-level addresses.. I'm less sure. | |
| 5 | ~ 8 months ago | commented | osmuser63783 ♦1,331 | I've added the name for the building for now. | |
| 6 | ~ 8 months ago | commented | jayaddison ♦304 | Sounds good to me. I noticed there's a small silver-coloured metal plaque on the west side of the building that also displays The Cube as the first line of the address (and also displays the postcode, if I remember correctly). | |

| 5131877 Category: Unknown | 1 | ~ 8 months ago | opened | jayaddison ♦304 | From surveying the (already mapped) barrier here: it indicates that the road is closed to general access because it is a fire service road. I think it may make sense to split way 893915209 and to annotate that the short segment between the hotel loop and the east-west roadways beyond the barrier is not accessible to public vehicles. |
| 2 | ~ 8 months ago | commented | jayaddison ♦304 | Changeset applied to designate the barriered road segment as for use by emergency vehicles, and not public vehicles: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/177500147 See also some discussion in nearby note: #4921267 I am not 100% certain about the tagging of bicycle access that I applied, and whether that is sensible, so I plan to leave this note open for a while longer. | |
| 3 | ~ 8 months ago | commented | jayaddison ♦304 | I think the service road should be routable for cyclists; taking a longer road-based detour in this area if the route would otherwise follow this small segment of road wouldn't necessarily be a good idea for cyclists. However, the barrier (a lift gate, if I remember correctly) itself should perhaps be mapped as bicycle=dismount to indicate that you can't cycle through it but can easily dismount and push a bicycle around it.

I've updated the map listing with the fixed hours part. Technically there is a way to mark some scheduled timeranges as 'unknown'... | |
| 5141581 Category: Unknown | 1 | ~ 8 months ago | opened | jayaddison ♦304 | Similar to the neighbouring Theatre Royal, the Playhouse also has two FHRS identifiers. I stopped into the ticket office to ask about on-site eateries, and The Boards is part of the Playhouse building in an upstairs area -- I think this is therefore the non-bar-related FHRS ID of the two. There is a separate bar in the main building from the main entrance, and I think that that must be the FHRS ID for the eatery with the word bar in the name. |
| 2 | ~ 8 months ago | commented | jayaddison ♦304 | Taking another look at this, it still seems non-obvious. I think there are three places where food could be bought in the building: Little Picardy, which has a recent rating that mentions pizza, The Boards pizza restaurant, which I understand to be a separate part of the building (but perhaps shares the same kitchen?), and then the bar -- which I haven't visited and so I don't know whether it offers prepared food or only snacks/prepackaged food. | |
| 3 | ~ 7 months ago | commented | osmuser63783 ♦1,331 | Little Picardy is a separate bar, it has its own entrance. You can go there without going to a show. There are multiple bars inside the building that you can only get to when a show is on, and if you have tickets. Personally I don’t think they are worth mapping separately. Not sure about food, but they serve wine and beer by the glass, that alone probably means they require an FHRS rating. What isn't clear to me (not having been to either) is whether "The Boards" and the pizza restaurant, "Pizza al Teatro”, are the same place or not. I haven’t been to Little Picardy. It’s possible that you can order pizza there that comes from the same kitchen as Pizza al Teatro, which would explain why they have one FHRS rating. | |
| 4 | ~ 7 months ago | commented | osmuser63783 ♦1,331 | Should we just add https://ratings.food.gov.uk/business/102243 and https://ratings.food.gov.uk/business/522873 to the amenity=theatre? (With a semicolon) Then when one of us visits The Boards we can find out about its relationship to Pizza al Teatro (an alt_name possibly?) and Little Picardy. (https://ratings.food.gov.uk/business/1727350) | |
| 5 | ~ 6 months ago | commented | osmuser63783 ♦1,331 | I've now added the two FHRS IDs to the Playhouse itself (the theatre). This just leaves the question what to do with the FHRS ID for "Pizza al Teatro / Little Picardy": we don't currently have Pizza Al Teatro mapped. My feeling is Pizza Al Teatro and The Boards are the same place, and share an FHRS ID with Little Picardy. It should be easy to confirm this by going in and checking the menu. | |

| 5137885 Category: Unknown | 1 | ~ 8 months ago | opened | jayaddison ♦304 | Does Boundary Bar really have two postcodes (EH6 and EH7)? And if so: can we find owner/press/authority sources to check those against? (source(s): FHODOT; web search) |
| 2 | ~ 8 months ago | commented | osmuser63783 ♦1,331 | That would be fitting: historically, when Leith and Edinburgh were separate, it was on the boundary. When the two had different licensing laws, one side of the pub would close earlier and people had to move over to the other side. But an EH7 postcode would need to go with a Crighton Place address, the EH6 postcode is the only one that makes sense for a Leith Walk address. Therefore I'm inclined to agree with FHRS here... | |
| 3 | ~ 8 months ago | commented | GinaroZ ♦8,026 | Royal Mail lists it as EH6 8SE https://www.royalmail.com/find-a-postcode (though strangely they don't have a 381, maybe that needs removed as I can't see another door) | |
| 4 | ~ 8 months ago | commented | jayaddison ♦304 | Mapping as EH6-only probably does seem simplest in that case then, despite the fun :) I thought I noticed two separate doors to the pub - but I didn't check the corresponding street number(s). | |
