Sorry still learning to use Lemmy and missed your reply.

I use Every Door to add new businesses, add detailed tags related to a business, or add micro features like benches, garbage bins, etc

Using a company's website for their contact info and hours etc is definitely okay. Using another website like Google Maps or Facebook for that information is not. Some sources like municipality GIS data is acceptable if their licence has been cleared but I would check the wiki first.

Happy mapping!

Yes, there are so many things that can be added to OpenStreetMap and we would love more help! I would start by asking: what do you use OSM for? or, what would you like to see more of in OSM?

I am a frequent OSM contributor in Vancouver. Personally I like to find a niche and work on it for a few weeks before I lose interest and find something else to map. I use the iD editor on openstreetmap.org.

I also like to pull out my phone when I am in a new neighbourhood or shopping area to see if there is anything I can add with StreetComplete or Every Door.

There are so many possible ways to contribute to OSM. I don't think the map can every be complete.

The wiki is an important guide for learning how to map more features. wiki.openstreetmap.org

Another helpful way to contribute is to upload GPS-tagged through Mapillary.

There are tools like Osmose which help identify QA issues https://osmose.openstreetmap.fr

Hit me up if you have any questions!

See Wikipedia:

The name of the highway, unlike that of Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed, is pronounced /ˈloʊhiːd/. The highway is named after Nelson Seymour Lougheed, MLA for the Dewdney District and the BC Minister of Public Works (1928–1929), who ran a logging company in the area.

IPA pronouncer for ˈloʊhiːd

Yeah... we've tried sprawl for decades and it doesn't work. We need more density: more homes and more amenities in close proximity to all rapid transit stations.

I used to visit when the library was there. I tried the VR place more recently. It's in an ideal location but I don't understand what the appeal is.

That said, I believe it is the single family homes a few blocks away that should be replaced long before this needs to be touched.

I agree. Except regarding the form of the density. I agree towers have their ppace but I prefer to see more single-stair 6-story housing across the city.

Thanks for sharing this, I didn't know how the waste compared to conventional nuclear.

I am hopeful for small modular reactors (SMR's). They have the potential for significant construction cost savings, are less of a risk from terrorism/disaster, and can often be located closer to the load (long power lines lose power).
