Portland alleys

Post by sx10
I just noticed that all the alleys in a many Portland neighborhoods have been deleted. There were hundreds in the Alberta and Mt. Scott neighborhoods for example that are gone from the map now. These are driveable alleys not the disused dirt ones. I see that one or two of them have been re-drawn since, but I can't find any discussion about it on the forum. It looks like an editor went through last september and edited every segment in the area, maybe that's when they were deleted?

Here's an example of an area with alleys removed and one redrawn https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lo ... =507754841

I and others have removed some areas of largely unused or non-existent alleys over the years due to numerous routing URs caused by their proximity to unconfirmed HNs. Wazeopedia guidance discourages mapping alleys (or any roads) that are not necessary for routing and removing them is easier than manually confirming thousands of HNs.
