it seems that https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/245524100 is the "Eyre 
Street Basin bridge".


However, I think we'd need a licence-compatible source.

"The bridge connects the 752-home Soho Wharf with the existing Eyre
Street Basin bridge,"

We have no "Eyre Street Basin" and no "Eyre Street Basin bridge"
mapped, but there is a note about a new bridge:

[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Mapping of roads in Digbeth

[Nathan Case]

Hi all,

First time posting to this mailing list as I'm new (ish) to the area.

I've found that a lot of the roads in Digbeth (Birmingham) are tagged as 
residential roads. These roads, as far as I'm aware, are minor roads 
through a fairly industrial part of town. I'd have thought they'd be 
better tagged as unclassified.


An example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/4928916/history

Streetview link: 
https://www.google.com/maps/@52.4761302,-1.8821697,3a,75y,121.59h,95.49t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1suTQd72R3sEPSM92JbYfjRg!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DuTQd72R3sEPSM92JbYfjRg%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D43.86864%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656


I can see many (all?) were changed from unclassified to residential 
about 4 years ago in a rather large changeset 
(https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/57843252) by a now-banned user 
(https://www.openstreetmap.org/user_blocks/1898).


I know there isn't a huge difference between these unclassified and 
residential in terms of route planning or rendering, but do you agree 
they should be reverted back to unclassified?


Many thanks,

Nathan
