[Way: 37436178 | OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/37436178) got separated from [Way: Cimarron Hills (1305681178) | OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1305681178)
Together, they contribute to an inner boundary of [Relation: Colorado Springs (113141) | OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/113141)
If the two Way records can be joined up again, then [Cimarron Hills, Colorado - CityStrides](https://citystrides.com/cities/230122) can continue to exist in CityStrides. I only have experience with the iD editor, and it’s not allowing me to join the two Way records. I gave it a try in JOSM, but was only successful in producing error messages.

Done - [Changeset: 157696076 | OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/157696076)
The warning you were likely getting about “modifying an incomplete relation” was because the relation members weren’t sorted, so JOSM thought there was a bunch of unconnected ways. A quick sort fixed that up.

Thanks!
I was getting an error while trying to download the initial dataset 😖 I couldn’t even get to the point where I could attempt to join way records. It kept telling me that I was choosing too large of an area to download. 🤷

🤔 I found a different/similar issue…
The border of [Stansbury Park, Utah - CityStrides](https://citystrides.com/cities/6738) seems kinda mangled in OSM in that it’s a combination of two Way records where one of them is open & the other is closed partway through the city which seems to break my street query.
It’s here in OSM: [Relation: Stansbury Park (198833) | OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/198833) with these two Way records:
- [Way: 39199355 | OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/39199355)
- [Way: 934665046 | OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/934665046)

I combined those two ways into a single closed way. Hopefully that helps!
**Edit:** After looking at the boundaries a bit more, I went back and re-separated the ways where it shares a boundary with the neighboring city. The relation for Stansbury Park should no longer have the split across the city though.
