I haven’t been hanging out in the support chats for a few months so not sure if I’ve missed something on OSM updates. I just finished Woodinville, WA and haven’t seen an update in a while. All the other cities I follow seem to be on a 3 week cycle but this one seems to be an outlier?
Huh. Interesting. Thanks Hans, I totally forgot that the update was on the city page. I’ll head back to OSM and see what the deal is. There’s a bunch of service streets and gated streets that are still showing nodes.
Compare the tagging in OSM with the CityStrides Street Query - Google Sheets … maybe we need to figure out some tagging that works for the world as well as CityStrides (or the query needs adjusting)
I think I’ve found the challenge. [‘name’] looks as though they may be collected even though the streets are classified as “service.” We have a ton of these out here in the PNW that are not City ROWs but are “Private” streets, in other words - they are not actually ‘no access’, they are named streets that are maintained privately. For example, Kirkland and Woodinville, WA would have seven streets (hyperbole) if it weren’t for running ‘private’ streets. (first image below)
I’ve gone through and marked many of them service streets in OSM so that they are taken out of mapping software like CS and Strava (I figure these people deserve to have the privacy that they expect) but have left the street name fields where appropriate as they do have signage indicating an actual named street.
The ones that have actual signage that states “no trespassing” “private, keep out”, etc. I have been tagging as private in OSM but frequently these don’t have posted street signs despite containing an OSM street name field completed. (second image
Not sure if I understand you correctly, but to clarify, service roads are included in CS, except if they are tagged as driveways, parking_aisle or drive-through. Setting access=private is the way to exclude them
For CS, sure. These streets aren’t strictly private though. They are accessible to the public but they are privately maintained.
EDIT: I will just go through and mark them all private and monitor them with the OSM community to see how it progresses.
If you want to be proactive about it, you could ask in the OSM Slack or Discord … or one of the several others in List of OSM centric Slack workspaces - OpenStreetMap Wiki and Discord - OpenStreetMap Wiki
Monitoring your messages/notes in OSM & being responsive is always a great move 
Thank ya, yeah, I’ll dive in on the OSM Seattle group and see what their thoughts are for these weirdo streets. I try to be a conscientious user so that I’m not making edits to fix my CS woes, but rather be the eyes on the ground to make more accurate mapping choices. These odd private ones have always been a head scratcher for me.
Stay tuned. Thank you both.
