[Talk-us] Odd road / odd structure

[Jack Burke]

For Paisley Place, maybe: 

abandoned:highway = residential 
access = no
name = Paisley Place
note = Your description of what the GIS people say. 

Since it needs to exist for addresses, it needs to be there. 


For the reservoir: 

landuse = reservoir 
intermittent = yes
