Just added fire station on Ft. Myer. Someone want to check if I did it right, and then up-lock?

You probably want to move the navigation point (crosshairs icon) to where the public driveway is. Other than that, it looks fine.

subs5 · August 10, 2017, 6:09pm

See you moved the pin point so I uplocked to recommended L4.

Don’t forget to look at the second tab for places to add information if you can.

Been working on adding PLAs in Arlington and surrounding areas. Here’s a batch of several that I think are complete and should be uplocked to L3.

All set to L3, few minor edits I made, otherwise good work. Thank You

Again, more PLAs that need uplock to L3: Fairfax Court shopping center

Thanks Lenny. I’m happy to take coaching if there’s things I can learn from your edits.

JGWoof3 · August 13, 2017, 10:37pm

For Lenny

Here’s a master list of PLAs I recently added that need review and uplock to L3. Thanks.

LennyNRPD · August 14, 2017, 12:28am

All uplocked to L3… Thank you

Several road segments need to be deleted.

https://www.waze.com/editor?env=usa&lon=-77.20496&lat=38.92511&s=70753591&zoom=7&segments=63949840,63949839,506134204,506134203,506134205

Where the road and parking lots is shown is now a quickly shrinking dirt hill. The building (former Teqcorner office building) has been demolished and entire area is being grade lowered for new construction.

New roads and alleyways are under construction at the building shown to the east (The Kingston) but those will not be open for several more months.

subs5 · April 17, 2018, 12:39pm

Updated, left a stub of the old road as a parking lot road with a road time closure so no one is routed. You need to be a Rank 3 editor to do that. So noone will be routed down there. Your Time Based Segment Restrictions from a few days ago are still waiting on the delayed Tile update.

The Fairfax County Tax Assessor Site still doesn’t have the future roads listed or drawn yet. Thanks/

delbertmatlock · April 17, 2018, 8:44pm

The county site has the new Birdwood Avenue showing to the east of the Kingston. It is almost complete based on drive-bys but I’ve been holding off on adding it until the road is open rather than putting an under construction road on the map.

subs5 · April 18, 2018, 4:28am

Go ahead and add, I lowered the Primary Street to L1 for you to fix the turn restrictions to the new road segment. Just add a Time Based Segment restriction for prohibited to all.
Once it goes to the app, we can take off and add the Real Time Closure so can open in an instant vice waiting for tile updates.

I saw that on the GIS but no GPS traces so wasn’t sure exactly how to draw. But if you have been BOTG go ahead.

delbertmatlock · April 18, 2018, 11:10am

I’ve added in Birdwood and put a restriction on it. The road is a split with a water feature in the middle. I’ve drawn it as a loop for now, but once more roads are in place it may work better as two different one-way segments. There is also a road going in behind the building which will come out to the Chainbridge Road intersection, but as it is not on the county site and will be a private road I’ll hold off on that one until it is closer to opening. If the design from the Final Development Plan (attached) holds that road will be named “Center Alley”.

There are several more roads going in through that area in the next year (Dartford Drive, Station Street, and the Colshire Meadow Drive extension) but at this point there is nothing but lot excavations in the places they will be located. Nothing worth showing yet.

subs5 · April 18, 2018, 11:47am

Great,
I connected the southbound leg to Anderson Rd. I prohibited the turn from wb Anderson into the sb Birdwood Ave based on the plans submitted to the county (page 48)? Current aerial view doesn’t show it with the median but if they change it let us know.

I also noticed that you restricted the left from nb Birdwood Ave to wb Anderson. Based on the site plans above, that looks correct. I enabled the u-turn at the B junction node here on Anderson Rd, so that people exiting Birdwood Ave can go westbound on Anderson.

I know you did a one way segment for the loop, leaving that as is for now. Normally we would have just one two way segment in this circumastance unless the median is wide enough that the GPS traces are separate at the 100m/500ft zoom level. Here is the guidance.
After this goes live in the map, we can pull the TBSR and put in a RTC so it can be opened near instantaneously. WIll be interesting to see the GPS traces but good enough for now since even as Boots on the Ground you are still approximating the location. So this all works for now. Thanks.

Look at the FDP image from my previous post. You can only turn onto Birdwood from eastbound Anderson Rd and when exiting Birdwood you can only turn right back onto eastbound Anderson Rd. There is a median on Anderson Rd that prevents access to and from Birdwood when going west. The FDP drawing shows turn arrows and angled approach/exit to support this.

According to the FDP, the median is 50’ wide, which I would consider significant.

I wish the map editor had a way to underlay a user provided image when working. That would allow me to put the FDP drawing or county tax site map under the existing elements and see exactly where the road is supposed to go.

subs5 · April 18, 2018, 12:19pm

after I posted the above I went and found the application to the county and changed the left turns. I revised the above prior to your post, Looks like they turn right on exit but then can do a u-turn so that was enabled to go wb on Anderson.

ldriveskier · April 18, 2018, 12:46pm

You can do that using the script WME Image Overlays. If you haven’t used scripts with Waze before, you will need to install Tampermonkey and can find more information here.

delbertmatlock · July 26, 2018, 2:37pm

Birdwood Avenue is open now. Drove past it a couple of days ago.

https://www.waze.com/editor?env=usa&lon=-77.20361&lat=38.92515&s=70753591&zoom=8&segments=511364822,511364823

Unfortunately, as it is locked to level 2 I can’t remove the restrictions on it. I’ve taken the restrictions off of the service road behind the building and moved the entrance ramp to where it can be seen on the latest Google aerial photo.

Of note, there is a gravel road on the west side of the building but it looks to be there more for emergency access and not for general traffic. This is most likely temporary until the Colshire Meadow Drive extension comes through. It looks like efforts are underway to lay that road out now as the demolition of the hill to the Northwest of the Kingston is about complete and there appears to be utilities going in along the path where Colshire Meadow Drive will be.

At some point the closed segment next to the Kingston will need to be realigned but I don’t expect to see that road ready to open for six months to a year at best.
