Hi,

Thanks for checking this. 

Sorry didn't get to respond to you sooner. 

I am new to OpenStreetMap.

The benches to flank the path but I guess they are not actually connected to it.

I am a busy teacher whose students and their parents counted and started mapping the benches of our local park with BetaNYC.

The parent who mapped them from my account did a lot of work. 

 Is there a way to restore the benches that were mapped and simply move them so that they are not affixed to the path? 

Thanks for letting us know.
