You might be affected by the [City and Street progress missing - #55 by JamesChevalier](https://community.citystrides.com/t/city-and-street-progress-missing/18373/55) issue … but your profile _looks_ pretty complete. 🤔 Should you have more completed streets somewhere?

The [Overpass](http://overpass-turbo.eu/) query that I use to collect the streets/nodes within a City is:

```auto
[timeout:900][out:json];
area(#{overpass_area_id})->.a;
(
way(area.a)
['name']
['highway']
['highway' !~ 'path']
['highway' !~ 'steps']
['highway' !~ 'motorway']
['highway' !~ 'motorway_link']
['highway' !~ 'raceway']
['highway' !~ 'bridleway']
['highway' !~ 'proposed']
['highway' !~ 'construction']
['highway' !~ 'elevator']
['highway' !~ 'bus_guideway']
['highway' !~ 'footway']
['highway' !~ 'cycleway']
['foot' !~ 'no']
['access' !~ 'private']
['access' !~ 'no'];
node(w)(area.a);
);
out;

```

So I’m skipping all of those `!~` types, thought there’s an [ongoing conversation](https://community.citystrides.com/t/add-hiking-trails/32) about bringing in trails.

I don’t have any _update_ capability built into CityStrides yet. That’s a whole other project. So it may take some time for any OSM edits to make their way into CityStrides (but it is planned).
