Streets in 2 different towns merged

Hi @david_mcpherson, and welcome to the forum.

The screenshot is definitely helpful, thanks for providing that.
Here’s what’s happening:

• The City of Sterling has a Williams St with 6 nodes
• The City of Leominster also has a Williams St with 7 nodes in Leominster but is also including the 6 nodes of Williams St in Sterling in the count
• Your screenshot shows the street in Leominster which you progressed, but did not complete. I checked out your activity and confirmed that it does show the Williams St in Sterling as complete.
• As far as progressing Sterling, you’re good to go, and now when you get over to Leominster you won’t be unable to complete a street with a mix of nodes

As far as what’s causing Leominster to group them together, it’s because of this:

@JamesChevalier

Street has nodes all over : Because of this lack of “street” record, the underlying CityStrides code needs to build its own understanding of a Street. This is (currently; April 2020) done by collecting all the Way records in one city with the same name & collecting all of those together as a Street. This doesn’t always work as expected which is why some cities have a Street with its Nodes scattered in separate areas around the city.

You can read more about this on the Wiki page that quote is from: About the Node, Street and City Data.
