Salt Lake City just renamed a part of 900 South to ‘Harvey Milk Boulevard’. This is a so-called ‘honorary designation’. But now I see a conflict. <div><br><div>1) The common tagging practice is that posted names rule. The signs changed to show the new honorary name: <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><a href="https://goo.gl/photos/xqAxQCwCmPRUGWkm9" style="color:rgb(33,33,33);font-family:Roboto,RobotoDraft,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/photos/xqAxQCwCmPRUGWkm9</a><font color="#212121" face="Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"> . So that would suggest I change the name to ‘Harvey Milk Boulevard’ and demote ‘900 South’ to name_1 or loc_name.</font></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><font color="#212121" face="Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif">2) Addressing and geocoding. People will continue to refer to this street as 900 South. Official addresses will not change. That would suggest that I leave the name=900 South in place and add name_1=Harvey Milk Boulevard. </font></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><font color="#212121" face="Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br></font></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><font color="#212121" face="Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I went with option 2, here is a segment —> </font></span><a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/418190301" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/418190301</a></div><div><br></div><div>Opinions?</div><div><br></div><div>Martijn</div></div><p style="margin-top:2.5em;margin-bottom:1em;border-bottom:1px solid #000"></p></div></div><pre><hr><br>Talk-us mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Talk-us@openstreetmap.org" target="_blank">Talk-us@openstreetmap.org</a><br><a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us" target="_blank">https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us</a><br></pre></blockquote></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>
