These types of roads (portions of roads are somewhat common in the City of Cleveland - for example, here's a selection of them - http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/goF ) I've done Martijn's #2 option but as Jack Burke noted, I used alt_name instead since it's less ambiguous as name_1. Regards, Will On

Re: [Talk-us] Neighborhoods / Zillow

[Talk-us] Visualizing editathon edits

Hey everyone, Good chatting (or miming) on the google hangout. A question I forgot to ask: A couple of the editathon participants in Cleveland have asked me if there's a visualization or way to see the edits that we've made that day. I know of whodidit - (in our case -
