I apologize, but I need link in order to properly understand all of this.
I’m also wondering if any of these cities are nested. That can cause confusion around some streets being marked complete or not.
My profile link?
I was thinking about links to streets, but after digging around trying to figure it out I think that it’s most helpful to have the link to your city view - Bedford, New Hampshire - CityStrides - and then a few street names that shouldn’t be completed:
- Indian Rock Rd
- Boiling Kettle Lane
- Governor’s Row
(I’m mentioning this more as a helpful tip for anyone else noticing this issue and/or Future Me™)
Each of these streets are marked manually complete 
This can either be that you actually clicked the button, or it could be that the activity that did complete it is now deleted (I think that was an older bug).
Yikes, the data suggests you have 220 manually completed streets. Does it show the same for you in CityStrides ?
At the very least, this is pointing out that I should reconsider all manually completed streets after updating a city. Thanks for reporting this!
Yes that is true for the 220 Manual completed streets. Many are from the early days before we started making changes in OSM and many streets which had less than 10 nodes and I wasn’t able to hit the last one, etc. (I completed what was possible). Also, I assumed later, as we made changes to OSM, that many of the manually completed streets would get removed, since they could not be run, or the OSM changes allow the street to be re-calculated as “complete”.
Me too 
I misunderstood one of my database queries - I thought the completed streets would be re-associated with the correct activity. I’m realizing I have to do this manually, now.

I ran this “manually completed street checker” code that I just wrote against your account, and it was able to associate 95 manually completed streets with activities. One of them is Indian Rock Road in Bedford, New Hampshire - CityStrides … So those should no longer be appearing in your ‘manually completed’ list.
I’ll be including this in the overall (automated) city update process soon.
Thanks again for reporting & helping me out with this.

That’s great! Thanks.
In a number of cities, the sum of complete and incomplete streets does not match the displayed total number of streets. In my hometown, the difference is now above 300 hundreds streets. Not sure if the missing streets will appear at some point or if they should be removed from the total count.
Moreover, there are now many streets with one node in one city and one or more nodes in another city. As such, streets cannot really be fun since they are reduced to one node.
Yeah, that’s part of the bug I had in earlier updates where the code would accidentally exit early - creating zero-node streets and not updating counts. That’ll be resolved in the next update.
If you complete that one node, is it not being marked as completed?
Perhaps runners get dizzy when they run ten feet down a road to capture a single node then turn around?

It is, but it is not completely satisfying. Look at this street: Am Wäldchen - CityStrides (the one in the West of the city since there are 2 streets with the same name). This one node street Am Wäldchen is at least 400m long. It is strange to get credit for “completing” Am Wäldchen when you run along the Talweg. In most cases, having to run until the next node would be fair enough, even if it is in the neighboring city (i.e.for me, a street should have at least 2 nodes).
For example, if I stick to the same example, but now I consider the street from the adjacent city perspective (Am Wäldchen - CityStrides). The street is also just one node there, but with my definition of a street, the strider has to run at least 400m to complete a street that actually doesn’t really exist in this city. That’s still doable, but maybe you have more extreme situations in the US with the picturesque long roads on the country-side.

Thanks Eric. I am also trying to run every trail before I consider each town completed. I would love to have a way to determine the total number of non-street segments completed or total off-road mileage completed. It would give a better picture of my progress.

@JamesChevalier, just had an interesting idea. Might it be possible to create a page that Striders can request a specific street to be updated, perhaps by submitting an OSM link to a specific way (I think that’s the right term)?
This might allow for quicker updates when Striders come across a problem, make an OSM change, and want to see results quicker. Might be very good for larger cities that don’t need a full update too.
Or maybe the update code only picks up OSM changes since the last update?
Anyway, that was a thought I had on yesterday’s run.

Hi James
Any chance you can put this city up the list a bit please?
Thanks

My city got updated in the last few days, and I have the same issue as @dbafounta (street total not equal to incomplete + complete) and I wanted to ask how long it will be before the next update (weeks/months?). It’s not a big deal, especially as the %-complete appears to be based on incomplete + complete rather than the number displayed, but still curious as to the length of the update cycle.
In the end the update was not as “bad” as I feared, I only ended up with a net loss of around 40 streets. I was expecting much worse 
Hm. Which city?
It looks like the current rate could be around once every 20 days or so. It’s tough to tell because some cities take seconds and some take a day (so far 
) and the current round of updates is for a year of OSM activity - so the next update may be faster. 
Thanks.
That was synced on the 23rd. I can’t remember if my fix went in before/after that.
I manually updated the count for that city.
