Well the first challenge would be putting multiple tags on the same way. Personally I would create multiple relations using the same way, each relation having one call-sign. I have heard other people suggest separating values with commas but I don't like that idea because if for example you want

You are lucky then. Just the other day Saint John area got updated with stuff from late 2012. its great that they are getting around to updating it but the imagery is more oblique than vertical making it very difficult to trace. As well they are really low quality compared to their predecessors.

My personal preference is to enable the JOSM sidewalk style and then use the sidewalk:right sidewalk:left, sidewalk:both, or sidewalk:none tags on the actual street. The footpaths are just about useless (as in the example above) as they are not related to the street in anyway. So the routing

I second that it should stay brown! There are way to many green objects and we don't want it confused with the grass tag. My vote would be to play around with the brown color. I certainly agree that it currently isn't the best. Cheers, ingalls On Sun, Jan 6, 2013 at 11:01 AM, Lennard

If anyone has a problem relating to this I don't mind fixing it. The way to do it is simply to download all the data within the bounding box, then use either the search or the authors dialogue to select all the data uploaded by that particular user and remove. Then the data can be re-uploaded :)
