| 2 | ~ 28 days ago | closed | pkoby ♦979 | Added the bridge area as a bridge, and tagged it with `historic=bridge`. It's not a `historic=monument` because it's not monumental in size nor a memorial, so removed that point. | |

| 5186858 Category: Unknown | 1 | ~ 2 months ago | opened | I-76 ♦3,970 | No connector path to the street, the sidewalk ends with grass on all sides. Is it still common practice to have the connector to the street? |
| 2 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | ICT_maps ♦11,032 | no | |
| 3 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | pkoby ♦979 | For pedestrian routing, it's helpful to have the footway=link connecting there. I added surface=grass, so that should avoid routing for wheelchairs etc. But if you're a pedestrian and the sidewalk ends, you're gonna step into the street, so might as well make that connection. | |

| 5189028 Category: Unknown | 1 | ~ 2 months ago | opened | I-76 ♦3,970 | Is there a way to imply the left curve for drivers turning from Jefferson (north segment, going down the hill) onto old Belmont to improve routing? |
| 2 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | pkoby ♦979 | Do you mean right curve? What issues are you seeing in routing? I see "turn right on Old Belmont", which I would say is accurate. It's not really a smooth curve, it is basically an intersection. | |
| 3 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | pkoby ♦979 | If you look at https://libwww.freelibrary.org/maps/mosaic/, click Maps in the top right, and choose 1934 Brewer, it looks like Old Belmont did curve back to Green Lane, but Jefferson didn't connect there. | |
| 4 | ~ 2 months ago | closed | jhaluska80 ♦3,176 | It's not going to dramatically improve routing, but I updated the intersection to follow the center line and have it join at roughly 90 degrees. | |
| 5 | ~ 2 months ago | reopened | pkoby ♦979 | ||
| 6 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | pkoby ♦979 | This might mess up the routing for the one-way segment of Jefferson which goes straight up the hill. It would be weirder to have a router say "turn right onto Jefferson" from Jefferson, than it would be to say "turn right onto Old Belmont". | |
| 7 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | I-76 ♦3,970 | Yeah, it is wrong to have any kind of angle to stay on Jefferson. The problem turn here is turning from the oneway segment of Jefferson onto Old Belmont, I think. Tbh it looked better before, feel free to map it back to original and resolve. There aren't enough ground markings to change much. I would, however, like to point out the intersection at https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/111815859/history which has a similar issue, but the road centerline is much further from the way it is mapped. | |
| 8 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | jhaluska80 ♦3,176 | Sorry, I had confused routes and turn directions. Ok, I thought about it. I added implicit turn lanes. This hopefully will give GPS clues of what to say coming from each direction. | |
| 9 | ~ 2 months ago | closed | I-76 ♦3,970 | Looks better at here. I'm making a new note at the other intersection | |
| 5182461 Category: Unknown | 1 | ~ 2 months ago | opened | I-76 ♦3,970 | Is leisure=park the right tag for this area? It's a managed grassy area with scattered trees. While rarely used, I have seen people having a picnic here once or twice. |
| 2 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | pkoby ♦979 | Probably. Because it has artwork and mown grass, it functions as a park, and it seems to be Lower Merion-owned. But it's not really accessible by foot, and I doubt it would be relaxing with Conshohocken State Road there. It's not an official park, so if you're on the fence, maybe just tag as grass? | |
| 3 | ~ 2 months ago | closed | I-76 ♦3,970 | The artwork is a small sculpted head carved by the residents of the house by it, though it is outside their fence. It might be improperly tagged as well smh. I feel it’s fair to leave as a park, considering there’s a couple areas in lower merion already parks even if they aren’t used that way, like (pick your section of) pencoyd park. | |

| 7 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | dannmer ♦18,948 | I've been past here thousands of times over many years and have never seen anyone using this space. I think it requires more than township ownership and mowed grass to be a park. There's been a recent tendency to map Lower Merion Township owned properties as parks even though they don't function as parks. In some cases private property appears to be mapped as park land. | |
| 8 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | I-76 ♦3,970 | Right. Some other areas mapped as parks are no better than this one was my point. I looked through a number of tags yesterday and came across something=greenery, which might suffice better than a park for a couple areas. The signed part of pencoyd park should probably be a park, but some of the other areas might belong as a nature preserve or something similar. Gully run park by righters mill road is never used. | |
| 9 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | I-76 ♦3,970 | https://www.lowermerion.org/departments/parks-and-recreation-department/township-parks has a strange category of undeveloped sites as "parks": Black Rock Road Site Merion Square Road Site Pencoyd Park Righters Mill Road Site Simpson Island Williamson Road Site Simpson Island is tagged as a nature reserve, Merion Square Road Site is unmapped (It is a forest on a hill), Righters Mill Rd tract is mapped as part of Gulley Run Park, Pencoyd Park is in pieces, and the other two sites are mapped as parks. Boy is this confusing. I also saw something on the website called Fuller Tract, "undeveloped open space" which "connects Gulley Run Park and Eco Valley Nature Park. | |
| 10 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | dannmer ♦18,948 | I think tagging some of these as nature reserves would be more accurate, however they aren't managed as nature reserves like places such as Riverbend, Saunders Woods, or Idlewild Farm. The naming of some of these places isn't accurate either, while I doubt many people search for directions to Pencoyd Park but if they do they are going to end up in the wrong location as mapped. | |
| 11 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | I-76 ♦3,970 | Yeah we need some consensuses here. I'll discuss on monday. | |
| 12 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | I-76 ♦3,970 | I'll go down the list, sorted into categories based on my knowledge and opinion: Parks mapped as parks, to stay as parks: Bala Cynwyd Park, Gen'l Wayne Park, Amherst Field, Narberth Park, Narbrook Park, McMoran Park, Eco Valley Nature Park, Rolling Hill Park, Mill Creek Valley Park, Gladwyne Park, Ashbridge Park, Penn Wynne Park, Wynnewood Valley Park, South Ardmore Park, Vernon Young Park, Austin Park, Shortridge Park, Merion Botanical Park, Margaret Braun Hill (location needs adjustment), Pencoyd Park (by Greentree Ln), Sabine Park, West Mill Creek Park, Flat Rock Park, Waner Ave Park, Packer Park, Linwood Park, Merion Gateway Park, Wynnewood Station Park, Bala Ave. Park, Cynwyd Station Park, Cynwyd Heritage Trail Space, and Gulley Run Park ( segments which touch Bryn Mawr Ave). Other spaces in the township currently mapped as parks, nature preserves, et al -- either I do not know how to tag or know little about: Kenealy Nature Park, Henry Lane Park and Garden, Saunders Woods, Idlewild Farm, Black Rock Road Site, Williamson Road Site, Harriton Park, Appleford Estate, Riverbend, Indian Creek Basin Park, Sharpe Bird Sanctuary Other publicly open spaces mapped in the Township: Stoneleigh, Wheeler/Harriton Farms Woods, https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/471302992 Other areas I believe are incorrect or missing: Lewis J Smith Park (encompassing pool and roller hockey, separated from McMoran Park by the hill), Righters Mill Road Site (currently mapped as encompassed by Gulley Run Park, should be mapped the same as Williamson/BR sites), Merion Square Rd Site (missing, same qualifications), Fuller Tract? We still need to discuss Pencoyd Park and where it deserves to be mapped. It is signed by Greentree Rd, and that is where it is according to LM Parks (https://www.lowermerion.org/departments/parks-and-recreation-department/township-parks). I just feel like the other three areas that were mapped deserve to be tagged as something. (Note character limit) | |
| 13 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | I-76 ♦3,970 | We also need a consensus on the borders and tagging of McMoran Park, Lewis J Smith Park, Eco Valley Park, this park on the corner, and whether it or Fuller Tract deserve to be mapped. I also don't know if Kenealy Nature Park deserves to be a nature reserve. I've walked through both it and Rolling Hill Park (and Mill Creek Park), and I see no difference between the way the three are maintained, other than Richie Ashburn Field. | |
| 14 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | dannmer ♦18,948 | The first issue to resolve is whether parks like Rolling Hill, Kenealy, and Mill Creek fit the OpenStreetMap definition of a park. They are mostly unmaintained natural areas with trails. Rolling Hill is the only one with a lawn area, buildings, and other features. | |
| 15 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | dannmer ♦18,948 | Forgot to add the link to OSM park definition: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dpark | |
| 16 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | I-76 ♦3,970 | Fair point. I agree leisure=park might not be the best tag for woodland/forest parks. leisure=nature_reserve might work better for Kenealy, Rolling Hill, Mill Creek, etc, except that the wiki states that reserves are "protected area of importance for wildlife", and if nothing much but the trails are maintained, would boundary=forest fit better somewhere? | |
| 17 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | pkoby ♦979 | So looks like I've never read the wiki page for parks… I've worked on some of this sort of tagging with https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/ElliottPlack in Baltimore. The tags we landed on were boundary=protected_area, protect_class=5. I think protection_title=City Owned Park would apply as well. Wissahickon Valley Park is tagged this way (by me), but I guess that shouldn't be a leisure=park. Unless something's a designated nature reserve (e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/484364316), I wouldn't tag it as that. boundary=forest also doesn't seem right. My opinion on Rolling Hill, Kenealy, and Mill Creek is that they aren't for the most part leisure=park (exceptions are the Richie Ashburn Field part of Kenealy and the dog park and parking area of Rolling Hill). | |
| 18 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | dannmer ♦18,948 | @pkoby Thanks for the response, I’ll look at this tonight. The use of park or nature reserve for the Lower Merion properties like Rolling Hill or Mill Creek Valley Park doesn’t seem appropriate so protected area sounds like a good option. | |
| 19 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | dannmer ♦18,948 | I implemented the suggestions from @pkoby for Mill Creek Valley Park, I left a note at the park as well. Let me know if any changes are needed. | |
| 20 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | I-76 ♦3,970 | I don't really see how Mill Creek Valley Park fits the definitions of protected area class 5 according to the wiki, but if that is how things are tagged elsewhere, I understand it. We haven't come to a consensus on the street name Sites mapped as parks, however. I have no idea how to tag them, given that the Township calls them parks as well as "undeveloped lands", and not all of them are mapped right or at all: Merion Square Road site is missing, but it's merely a forest on a hill bordered on three sides by street. Righters Mill Road site, just south of this note, is mapped as part of Gulley Run Park. @dannmer Idk what you used to redefine the boundaries of Eco Valley Park, but it is now smaller than how the township defines it according to the 2020 map. The Township also claims that Lewis J Smith Park encompasses the pool and roller hockey, and Fuller Tract (unknown type) connects Eco Valley Park to Gulley Run Park. | |
| 21 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | I-76 ♦3,970 | Here is a link that might be helpful to the park definition: https://www.lowermerion.org/departments/building-and-planning-department/long-range-plans-projects/township-wide-planning/comprehensive-plan/open-space-plan/osp-inventory-of-existing#twpparkinv | |
| 22 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | I-76 ♦3,970 | Retagged this as grass with ownership=municipal | |
| 23 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | I-76 ♦3,970 | I aligned a woods segment to call Fuller Tract based on the parcel map. Still need to determine the status of Willamson/BlackRock/MerionSquare Road sites, because current leisure=park tagging is incorrect. | |
| 24 | ~ 1 month ago | closed | I-76 ♦3,970 | Looks like those were tagged as nature reserves | |

| 2 | ~ 3 months ago | commented | jhaluska80 ♦3,176 | https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dstop#Exceptions | |
| 3 | ~ 3 months ago | commented | I-76 ♦3,970 | Don't understand the relation muck, might be an iD problem idk. The second bullet doesn't work right either because traffic on McClenaghan Mill can turn right as well, but needs to stop. I created 2 separate stop signs, one with the except=right_turn and one without it. This may not be the best tagging, but does it at least work? | |
| 4 | ~ 3 months ago | commented | I-76 ♦3,970 | https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/178376846 | |
| 5 | ~ 3 months ago | commented | pkoby ♦979 | In edge cases like this it's probably better to have separate nodes with direction tags for each stop line. I've adjusted it in https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/178552255 | |
| 6 | ~ 3 months ago | closed | I-76 ♦3,970 | Fair enough, thanks | |
| 5151922 Category: Unknown | 1 | ~ 3 months ago | opened | --- | Please update this as the correct entrance of building complex. |
| 2 | ~ 3 months ago | commented | I-76 ♦3,970 | Streetside imagery does not show a gate or any indication of the road being oneway. Please elaborate if there is some other indication of this side being the entrance, as nothing past that is mappable. Only building entrances are commonly mapped rather than unmarked part entrances to complexes. | |
| 3 | ~ 3 months ago | commented | jhaluska80 ♦3,176 | There may be an informal one way convention. I sent an email to Harrison Richards in an attempt to get clarification as I have had a zero response rate from anonymous accounts. | |
| 4 | ~ 3 months ago | commented | pkoby ♦979 | Followup here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/5153366 | |
| 5 | ~ 3 months ago | closed | jhaluska80 ♦3,176 | To summarize the problem. Instead of using this small service road, delivery drivers were stopping on Montgomery and Cynwyd Road which was causing traffic and safety problems. Through a series of tags and adjustment I resolved the issue to the best of my abilities. | |

The area is not really relevant (mapping properties is outside the bounds of OSM, generally). The "addr" tags are sufficient to have it searchable, but data consumers take varying times to update their databases, so it might not show up in search results for days or weeks. | |
