Adding Townships to OSM/CityStrides

Don’t forget to add your requests to Missing/Broken Cities Tracker - Google Sheets … this is the document that I work off.

It’s fine to mention your requests here in the forum since the spreadsheet doesn’t have any notifications, but I can’t work on missing cities via forum posts - it’s much too hectic for me.

Oh yes I know. I forgot to tag @zbrown4 since the borders need to be added.

I just created a new subject “Streets not counted. Missing city in Citystrides”. But then I found this topic which seems like the appropriate place to post this. Basically I found that Lower Macungie Township, PA is missing.

Here’s my original post for reference:

The following is the link to todays activity. The streets were added to my lifemap but they were not added to my completed or progressed street total for that activity. They are in the city of Lower Macungie Township, PA. However that city seems to be a missing city in Citystrides. Neighboring cities; Upper Macungie Township and Macungie are included cities in Citystrides and are working fine. It seems to me that any street in that city won’t be counted unless it’s added. Is it possible that open streets is not recognizing it properly.

I just added two Townships in Ohio. I think I have them sorted on OSM but if not let me know. Symmes Township Ohio and Deerfield Township Ohio. I added both the spreadsheet

The following is the link to yesterday’s activity. The streets were added to my lifemap but the ones in mile 2,3 and 4 were not added to my completed or progressed street total for that activity. They are in the city of Weisenberg Township, PA. However that city seems to be missing city in Citystrides. Neighboring city, Upper Macungie twp is an included city in Citystrides and portions of yesterday’s activity were in that city and are being credited in that city correctly. . Is it possible that open streets is not recognizing it properly.

Added Clearcreek Township to spreadsheet

Is there any particular timeframe for cities/townships added to the spreadsheet to be loaded into Citystrides?

I aim to make progress monthly, but I’ve been held back by other things. I’m really hoping to make actual progress on this list this month. :sweat_smile:

Thank you! I appreciate all you do!

Clearcreek Ohio added to Google spreadsheet:

2 more areas added to the spreadsheet: Shiloh and Northridge

Is anyone able to add Gaines Township & Byron Township in Michigan!!?!

no need to yell :smile:

Gaines Township, Michigan - CityStrides does exist in CityStrides

Byron Township is interesting, because its borders conflict with Byron Center, Michigan - CityStrides and Cutlerville, Michigan - CityStrides
:thinking: I’m not sure, offhand, how I’ll be able to handle this

Haha, I’m just really excited about these townships and more streets to run!

There must be two Gaines Townships in Michigan. The one I am looking for is south of Grand Rapids on the west side of the state. The existing one is on the east side.

There is a Byron Center, which is the city of Byron Center and small. There is also a Byron Township, which is larger.

OSM search seems to be exact - I just found Relation: ‪Gaines Charter Township‬ (‪10090464‬) | OpenStreetMap which might be what you’re looking for.

The trouble with Relation: ‪Byron Township‬ (‪10090465‬) | OpenStreetMap is that it also partially overlaps Relation: ‪Cutlerville‬ (‪134448‬) | OpenStreetMap
…but, after viewing that OSM page, I notice it’s a CDP…
Ah, yeah, Byron Township pairs with Relation: ‪Gaines Charter Township‬ (‪10090464‬) | OpenStreetMap

It’s looking like, overall, I should import both 7 & 8 admin_level values & then mark some of the 8 places as nested in the 7 e.g. Byron Center in Byron Township, Caledonia in Caledonia Charter Township, Middleville in Thornapple Township (and likely some more).
I want to compare the two levels a bit more before I dive into that, though… (level 8 query …vs… level 7 query)

Yes, confirming that’s the Gaines Township I am looking for.

Thanks for all your help!

Hi James - What needs to be done for Byron Township and Gaines Township to City Strides? Thanks!
