I was there 6 months ago and what was there then (before the two most recent sets of changes) wasn't perfect, but as the whole area was a building site I made relatively few changes - clearly the situation when I was there was only temporary.

The local who tried to fix things did so as part of their 2nd changeset, and they deserved a better response than the comment "reverted" (from a USA-based mapper with a history of that sort of thing).

As already noted, it needs a proper on-the-ground survey of the _current_ situation.  Handily, due to the unique way the railways in the north of England are run, Bradford Forster Square (just around the corner) seems to be on a surprising number of east-west routes.  I can also recommend the Jacob's Well pub https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/962761380 .  As the wifi password suggests "try the pie" :)

Best Regards,

Andy

Hi Tim,

I'm not that far away from Bradford but neither do I have the time to resurvey Hall Ings, which, as you rightly point out, has been remodelled recently and now looks a complete mess on the map. Checking the history of some stretches of road that have disappeared from the Standard Layer shows this has been the case for a good few months now. Might be worth reaching out to the mappers who have recently touched those segments (I won't name names but you can find out from the histories). I don't know what the tag "mkgmap:dead-end-check" is but that's clouding (or perhaps causing) the issue too.

On one hand, you could revert the problematic changes to make things look normal again, even if that's old data. On the other hand, we don't know for certain what the actual situation is without a ground survey and, while that leaves the map looking wrong, that itself is an indicator that this needs a survey.

Regards,

    Bradford has undergone road changes for pedestrianisation recently
    but there is one road " Hall Ings" that looks very messed up. Is
    it undergoing construction or has someone messed it up? Is there a
    local mapper?
