Cherry Creek State Park Bike Trails

[Mutant Platypus]

Hello, I've been fixing the names on current trails and adding ones that were not in the system before.  Could someone please review so I can continue?

This one should be easy - all I did was select all the segments that composed the entirety of the Smoky Hill Trail and labeled them as such in one big operation so they are identified as a single trail.  The Cherry Creek Park Trail name comes from Arapahoe County GIS.

This one is a similar case - It is 12 Mile Trail according to park documents but part of the much longer Cherry Creek Greenway Trail according to Arapahoe County.

And a road that wasn't mapped before

I've also added several of the picnic areas, parking lots, and public bathrooms, but those aren't holding up other edits.

Working on those places.  The parking lot names I'm getting from a map of the park.

I need reviews of trails, though:

Other issues:  feature name should match primary category type.  Parking lots can be left unnamed and generic.

Ok, I can do that with the parking lots.  But I'm going to explain what I'm doing with the trail names:

There is a state-wide trail called the "Colorado Front Range Trail" (CFRT).  Sections other trails are marked as part of the CFRT.  When this happens, I add CFRT as Official name and nothing else.  (Is it getting marked as Primary as well?)  Arapahoe County's map has some trail names that are different from Cherry Creek State Park's (CCSP) map.  When that happens, Arapahoe County's name is Primary, Official and CCSP's name is Obscure.  This way, Arapahoe County's name appears first because Arapahoe County's name matches the names I've found on other government maps, and the County's name extends outside the park.  CCSP's Obscure name should be secondary except to people who are actually in the park.  I don't even mark it Primary if its the only name, as the Obscure name still shows up.  I'll make sure to take the Local attribute off of the all the names.

At delta-intersections (as opposed to wye-intersetions) of trails, I apply the names of BOTH trails to the appropriate segments.  Even when three trails intersect, each side of the triangle can only be part of two trails.

And looks like you may have denied my name changes (I guess denying individual parts of the edits still count as denial), so my trust level regarding names has gone down.  I'll have to do them in two steps now, which is why you'll see me deleting names and adding just one.  I'll add the second, non-primary one when the first name has been reviewed.  I can't find where to add more than one at a time except when drawing a new line.

[Mutant Platypus]

Oooh, I found the problem.  I explained below why one route might have multiple names, but its easier to change name TYPES using the select LINE tool, not the select segment tool.

If you use the Select Road Segments tool, you'll see that some of the trail routes contain multiple names rather than one, which is odd.  The route should have one name.

Don't  worry, I'm not bitter about the denials of certain aspects.  I was just mentioning it.  I thought I had been pretty careful about having only one primary name per segment, but perhaps MM was assigning more in error?

I denied certain aspects of your edits to expedite your existing edits.  I did the best I could to provide feedback on certain edits, and to approve what I could when I could, even if some of the edits violated best practices, because I was hoping that you could go back through and clean up the trail segments that appeared to have dual Primary names.  

I would pick one set of maps to work off of, as far as names go.  Whatever it's locally and most commonly called should be Primary.  The other names can be added as Official or Obscure or nothing at all.  

Local is just the language tag.  It's confusing, but it doesn't mean what it seems like it should mean.  Local can be left on all the names, as it will have no effect on what will show up on the trail names.  If you have two languages, like English and Spanish, then the predominant language name should be Local.
