[Talk-us-massachusetts] FYI:Edits by Amazon

[Alan & Ruth Bragg]

I was looking at WHODIDIT https://simon04.dev.openstreetmap.org/whodidit/
 for changes in my area and noticed a driveway linking the street to a
house located behind other houses.
The edit by Amazon Logistics was valid and probably supports their delivery
operations.
The user's home page had this statement.

"I work for Amazon Logistics
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Amazon_Logistics>. At Amazon
Logistics, we’ve been utilizing OSM in some cases related to our delivery
programs. In connection with those delivery programs, we have collected
information that we think is valuable to the OSM community such as names
and info about new roads that are not currently in the map today, new data
on turn restrictions, and road connectivity, to name a few. When we hear
feedback, we’ve been editing to provide that information for the benefit of
the entire OSM user community. If you have more questions, please contact
osm-edit-escalations at amazon.com "
