There’s been an ongoing issue where it appears as though streets are being counted as completed twice. There’s this thread with some conversation on the topic: Fixing street double count I approached this by: Adding the ability to mark a city as “nested” Adding the ability to relate a nested city…

I agree! Working on Stockholm with 4300 streets, it’s very good to have the thirteen boroughs also in here as nested cities, makes it more manageable, finishing one after the other

Hi @JamesChevalier - a new job (sort of) has me running in some new areas, and I’ve noticed that Groton Connecticut has several neighborhoods masquerading as towns and leading to double counts towards my lifetime total. All would qualify as nested cities if you wanted to go that route: Poquonock …

Hello, I think there is still something wrong with counting nested cities. See activity: CityStrides The homepage says it has 22 incomplete streets. The activity itself says it has 11 incomplete streets but then below shows every street twice, resulting in 2 pages and 22 streets. Just wanted to…

Ah, yeah, for the activity list on your profile page, it’s a complex query to collect all the activities with their respective counts. It looks like I missed the exclusion of nested cities in that query. It’s the activity page that’s correct. Streets in nested cities don’t count for global/site-wid…

Hello, I agree it is the incomplete street count. It was the first time a ran a nested city and the child city had the same name as the parent city which made it not immediately clear it concerned nested cities since I just saw the same street in the same city twice…

Hi @JamesChevalier I recently went to Marrakech and discovered it’s another double-counting parent and nested city streets, which are all already in CityStrides. Can you please set the admin level for the city of Marrakech to 8? Relation: ‪Marrakesh‬ (‪2799538‬) | OpenStreetMap Marrakech ⵎⵕⵕⴰⴽⵯⵛ مرا…

Hello James, I recently ran in Sydney, NSW - Australia and I noted there are “cities” double counting there. So it appears at the Suburb level they are listed as nested in “Sydney”. However there is another level between the suburb and Sydney being the administrative level - ie. all the local counc…

Hm, I only had time to check The Council of the Shire of Hornsby but that does look like it’s entirely within Sydney & should be marked as nested. I’ll take a closer look as soon as I can.

About half of the non-nested LGAs are wholly within the defined “Sydney” and half aren’t. Those along the ocean definitely are (eg Waverly, Mosman, Randwick).

You’ll find a fair bit of discussion about this issue in this thread from a couple of years ago. The short answer is that there doesn’t seem to be an easy fix.
