There's an area of land in my neighborhood that was formerly a golf course, but has been defunct for years and will never be made a golf course again: Course shut down, Future use of area It is currently mapped in OSM as a golf course complete with water hazards, sand traps, etc. Seems like there is an opportunity to correct this, but I wouldn't want to go in and just delete all the nodes. Is there an OSM-encouraged way to correct this area? asked 16 Feb '18, 21:26 ryandrake |
Use the lifecycle prefix https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:abandoned: for this. E.g. at https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/293296944 change In addition tag it what it is now.. Maybe now a park? Just a meadow? And, of course, use a good changeset comment when saving/uploading your change. answered 16 Feb '18, 21:41 aseerel4c26 ♦ Thanks for your quick help, that makes sense. Right now, it vaguely resembles a golf course, but all of the golf-like features are overgrown. The city says the land area will eventually become "open space" which could mean anything from a public park to unmaintained wilderness.
