To clarify, your saying that i) You remember adding ways to the map at sometime in the past ii) Those ways are no longer showing up on the rendered map iii) When you view the raw data in an editor, you don't see lines for those ways either iv) You aren't able to determine when or who deleted these ways. If all of the above are true this sounds like either someone is deleting your data or there is some technical problem. Do you remember when these ways were added and when you last saw the on the map? You mention "Sometimes the way appears in a different zoom level...." that confuses me a bit. If the way shows up at any zoom level then it should show up as a raw line in an editor (and when you view the raw data) that indicates a rendering problem (does forcing the tile to re-render with the interface at informationfreeway.org fix it?). I've often seen the renders get some ways in an larger edit but not others (a re-render fixes it), but that doesn't sound like the problem your describing at Hillyard. > http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?lat=43.26924&lon=-79.83494&zoom=17 > > Here Hillyard does continue north past the intersections with the service > road and then Ship Street to beyond the POI (Point 288051968) > > and > > http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?lat=43.26924&lon=-79.83494&zoom=17 > > Here York Road appears intermitently depending on the zoom level you are > using. > > I am wondering if others have noticed the same things happening in other > regions and areas.
