Hello danctc,

VLD286 is no longer working on our team.   

After looking into this change, the way that was removed is not visible in our available imageries. From what I am observing we may actually want to make way 1342823923 a oneway road. We then should update the area around node 12435628583 to remove the crossings for the old road. 

If there is a more updated imagery that we should use please let me know. The most updated I could find is the ESRI World imagery which shows a few sidewalks and a cycleway where that turn would be. I would happily make the edits that I suggested above or you can go forward with your plan to revert the change. I will refrain from editing until I hear back from you.

Best regards,  
Matt (VLD170)
