Removal Appeal - "Bell Tower"

Wayspot Appeals
1

I initially did a report using a Help Chat ticket and I’m not sure I still have the information available. The Wayspot appeared to be misplaced to have it accessibile from the road, but also the object described does not exist, so it wasn’t truly misplaced. Staff “corrected” the location but I again reported it as, like I’ve said, it does not exist.

  • Wayspot Title: Church of Christ Church Bell Tower

  • Location (lat/lon): 42.516160, -83.243534

  • Additional Information (if any): See below

I tried really hard to identify the subject matter “bell tower” but all I see is a spire. I looked through the years of available Street View and still couldn’t find it, nor could I find other information about a possible bell tower online. I see a “spire,” however I do not personally think it was distinctive enough to be a separate Wayspot from the church and believe calling it a “bell tower” was misleading. As it does not exist, I believe it should be removed.

Looking at StreetView, I have to agree. This looks like a completely fake stop, but weirdly the description is relatively accurate, it just doesn’t describe a bell tower.

I’m not sure what staff will do with this :sweat_smile:

Reading church of Christ and bell tower in the same sentence would have been my first clue something either wasn’t right or that the church is unique. Unfortunately that’s just a skinny steeple :man_shrugging:t3:

That high school champs sign across the street looks to be on school property too

I thought so, too, but:

There was a Little Free Library I was able to remove that was all the way up to the building.

Oakland County’s property gis isn’t extremely helpful but the property lines do appear to go all the way into the road :man_shrugging:t3:

That should also include a similar sign located at

42.519078, -83.242833

I don’t think I reported it and don’t intend to - hopefully staff will consider these two locations during the review of the “bell tower” that doesn’t exist.

Regardless of if it fits perfectly within the GIS boundaries, it certainly feels like it should be in the spirit of not being acceptable due to school grounds. We shouldn’t have to lawyer over it.

I agree but figured a little evidence might help whoever takes a look at it​:man_shrugging:t3:
