Hi,
Are you sure that the change you made here is correct:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/53054452/historyHave you surveyed it or else what's your source?
The canal no longer passes under the road, except in narrow pipes, so waterway=canal seems inaccurate to me. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3793331

Comment from SomeoneElse
Actually, a photo from the other side would make it much more clear - the pipes would be clearly visible :)
Seriously though, please don't make "armchair" edits on the basis of "Mapbox User Feedback" without doing at least a smidgeon of due diligence. There are at least two very active local mappers in this area and the person who originally mapped the bit of the "canal" under the road (me) is still active.
Where there are active local mappers, it's always preferable to contact them (either by a changeset discussion comment or a map note) rather than just guessing.

Comment from SK53
Can I just also add my request that such changes be at least passed by local mappers. The Grantham canal is a disused canal with a wide variety of different status throughout its length. It is non-trivial to map even with a survey. In this case one of the most active mappers in the world (kevjs1982) lives no more than a kilometre away. He mapped a lot of detail along the canal when the A46 road was widened. There have been no significant changes to the area since then.
I must say it concerns me that MapBox user feedback might be treated more seriously than diligent active local mappers.

Thank you for highlighting this SomeoneElse, will_p and SK53. I made these changes based on the satellite imagery. I have reverted the changes I made, which will remove the tags I added. You'll are right, this should have been taken care by the local community. Will be cautious in the future.
