some questions: 1) what is the source for the addresses you added for these platforms? even station data from Metro Transit doesn't have an address. 2) you repurposed the general Snelling Ave station node into something just for the EB platform, which is different from all other MT LRT stations--is there a reason for this? thanks

I work for MT and have access to the data that was not reported. All platforms have city addresses that are not always accurately reported. I placed the info on there as a test to see how it attached, etc. I do not plan on leaving it there nor do I plan on adding further until I look into some more issues.

Also, to answer your second question. When there are "split" platforms, meaning across an intersection from one another, they have separate addresses in our systems. A location like Robert St would only have a single address, but a location like Hamline would have different addresses for the EB and WB platform.

thanks for replying and giving OSM a go! remember that OSM data needs to be publicly verifiable--if these addresses are not used publicly, they're not verifiable (and probably wouldn't be of much use to people anyway). if the platforms have different addresses, then the address should be on each platform itself (ie http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/126228993), not on the station node. transit tagging is not the easiest, but if you have an interest, I think the consensus these days is found at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Public_Transport (actually, looking at that, I wonder if the station nodes should be turned into ways covering the whole area?) cheers!
