Years back as OSM was fading and the v1.0 of mapbox started rolling out my pedestrian view of the space was that we were seeing the endgame unfold It's insane to see the levels of depth still to plunge - this is incredible documentation and a very cool project PS - I'd upvote twice if I could for incorporate of cthulhu mythos!

Just this morning I came across new work from the Berlin OSM community: https://supaplexosm.github.io/strassenraumkarte-neukoelln/?map=micromap#20/52.49555/13.42073 https://supaplexosm.github.io/strassenraumkarte-neukoelln/?m... The end-game isn't in sight. We (data consumers of OSM) are just getting started.

  Supaplex did supplement their map with open data from the municipality though for the street outlines as far as I understand (I've asked), so it's not 100% OpenStreetMap data used there. Totally awesome and inspiring nonetheless though.

    Right, from https://supaplexosm.github.io/strassenraumkarte-neukoelln/posts/2021-07-18-strassenraumkarte https://supaplexosm.github.io/strassenraumkarte-neukoelln/po... (translation https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https://supaplexosm.github.io/strassenraumkarte-neukoelln/posts/2021-07-18-strassenraumkarte https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https...), there was an extra curb data-set used. I've actually found a few of these (https://a-b-street.github.io/docs/tech/map/geometry/index.html#other-data-sources https://a-b-street.github.io/docs/tech/map/geometry/index.ht...), so the approach is maybe repeatable. Regardless, the design choices and color scheme are something I would love to adapt.

    You can definitely map curbs in OSM if you have high resolution imagery: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:area:highway https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:area:highway Do not expect however mainstream data consumers to support it ;)

What to you mean, "OSM was fading"? When?

  I'm also curious about this. If you look at the number of users, number of edits, etc then openstreetmap looks like it is on a rocket trajectory. More and more corporations are putting significant amounts of energy towards improving openstreetmap as well, drastically improving overall quality.

    It's scary to think such a great project could have perished at some point in its infancy. It's not perfect yet but it's an incredible resource and alternative to GMaps.
