This is a long-standing known issue with some very large cities. It’s mentioned in [About the Node, Street, and City Data](https://community.citystrides.com/t/about-the-node-street-and-city-data/19802#known-issues-or-works-in-progress-3) but perhaps not as clearly as possible.
OpenStreetMap doesn’t have a concept of “streets”, it only knows about “ways” which are sections of roads. I have to piece these together within CityStrides, and I do that by matching them on their name.
If a city has two streets with the same name, CityStrides joins them as one street. I don’t currently have a workaround/fix for this.
Vincent Square, via this link, is in [Greater London, England - CityStrides](https://citystrides.com/cities/188749) which is one city that holds both streets with this name. There’s also [Vincent Square - CityStrides](https://citystrides.com/streets/10740704) in [City of Westminster, England - CityStrides](https://citystrides.com/cities/130923) as well as [Vincent Square - CityStrides](https://citystrides.com/streets/10889250) in [London Borough of Bromley, England - CityStrides](https://citystrides.com/cities/131055) … These two boroughs exist as “nested cities” in the larger Greater London. These nested cities can exist in large cities so that people can have smaller areas they can progress/complete.
