Remove/change rendering of landuse=village_green
Expected behavior
Cut out paths are visible; rending is not confusing.
Actual behavior
Currently same rendering is used for landuse=village_green
and landuse=grass
. This leads to confusion over where the village green starts and stops. I have seen village greens where exclusively the grass part of a village green has been mapped as landuse=village_green
and all other parts are cut out.
And having the same rending for landuse=village_green
and grass discourages mapping the grass sperate. And is confusing as mappers think that paths have not been cut out of the grass.
I would suggest changing the rending to more leisure=park
like or remove fill rendering and only have name reneging.
Screenshots with links illustrating the problem
To be honest, I don't really understand the function of landuse=village_green
. The idea seems to be to identify particular landuse=grass
as "special community areas". So I can't really see why you would have a border between adjacent areas of village_green
and grass
? I'm not convinced that we need a special render for landuse=village_green
, as a central green community area (the starting definition) will be fairly obvious from the location.
Given the similarity (visually and in function) between village_green
and grass
, using the same colour makes sense. You could have a thin darker green line as a boundary (as leisure=playground
), but this might encourage tagging for the renderer, and there is already discussion that landuse=village_green
is being overused.
