Hi, Spaghetti Monster!  
My name is Kate, and I’m a mapper on the OSM team at Lyft. 
These changes were made according to the Nearmap background and Lyft telemetry data (automated pipelines that detect driver activity) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Kf918N-_6oEkPv4FLyOy9N2zQp91nUMY/view?usp=drive_link 
We realize the volume of the edits and understand the importance of releasing sources for review, especially for changes of this magnitude. We found GPS tracks activity in a different location which confirms the findings at official sources.
