Hey Vincent & everyone else in the thread - I just want to quickly poke my head in and let you all know that I’m aware of the problem & really want to get it fixed. I don’t have a ton of time right now to get into all the details and decisions that got CityStrides here, but I can at least start to explain… Yeah, I’m in a tough situation on this one. The (somewhat) shortened version of the situation is that OSM doesn’t have perfect data, so I opted to take in more than I needed with the intention of trimming out the excess. I added ‘flag for review’ buttons on each street, kind of taking a cue from Foursquare & how their user base helps manage the site’s data (or at least they used to, by giving certain ‘super users’ more access to the moderation system). So I’ve got the **start** of a moderation system, but I haven’t really been able to follow through on that completely - adding different levels of access to certain users, or automatically removing streets that are flagged a certain number of times, or something else… If I only import [‘highway’ tags](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway), I lose out on things that are not tagged completely. In some areas, this would make my import useless. If I import everything (like I am) and sort things out within CityStrides, then I start with a mess and need to clean things up. That’s where I am now. Gotta run for now, but I’ll be back when I’ve got some more time for more explanation. If anyone has any more questions/suggestions, please share them - I’ll reply everywhere I can! Thanks for talking about this everyone, I really appreciate it! --- _[View the full topic](https://community.citystrides.com/t/filter-out-buildings-and-other-non-runnable-features/119)._
