I need help with a street name. In Leavenworth, WA there is a street named
"Edelweiss Weg" that I want to add. Is Weg an abbreviation for something?
It will be tagged highway=service service=alley. Google translate doesn't
help.
If it is an abbreviation, should it be expanded as we usually do?

Why do I see so many new mappers make edits without a commit comment? Is it

That may be true, but it doesn't mean we need to connect roads with
polygons. As was stated in a post from a time past, roads
