Carmichael / Farrington Road

• Historical source clarity5 / 20

  Main source movements conflict or remain area-based, including downtown order, Union City and the Bacardi start/finish. These are substantive route-definition gaps.

• Mapped extent completeness5 / 20

  The Bacardi reach, named Rock Crusher return and stated Faith return are not fully represented; material portions of the intended loop are missing.

• Geometry consistency5 / 20

  Two disconnected parts and three independent sequence gaps remain. Zero direction flags do not resolve missing joins or support reversing the northbound Baillou approach.

• Recent direct field evidence0 / 20

  No completed, reviewed ride record for this route is attached to the research baseline. Historical descriptions, map edits and unreviewed reports do not establish a currently observed full journey.

• Independent field corroboration0 / 20

  No accepted independent check corroborates a dated route-specific field record in this baseline. Reuse of the historical official description is not independent observation.

What still needs checking

• Bacardi is the stated start and finish, but the text begins on Carmichael and the OSM relation begins on Faith. OSM14 contains no Bacardi Road member and only a short Carmichael section near Faith, so the intended Bacardi approach/return is not encoded.
• Union City is an area, not an ordered street. Christie/McKinney are a candidate interpretation, but the selected McKinney way 25792793 does not directly touch selected Bethel way 24602480; the transition still needs a supported connector or corrected interpretation.
• Farrington Road Boyd Road and Blue Hill road Cumberland Street lack separators. Treat these as successive named items for review, without hiding the original wording.
• The source says Frederick→Duke→Princess; mapped streets and OSM14 instead connect Frederick→Prince/Princess→Duke. The source order is therefore not an unambiguous traversable sequence.
• After Duke, OSM14 jumps to Meeting and omits the written Blue Hill return movement. The relevant northern Baillou segment is exported northbound, so reversing the inbound line southward is not a supported repair. Route 14A offers a Market/Lewis/Baillou comparison, not proof that 14 uses it.
• The return mentions Rock Crusher Road; no road with that primary name was found in the preserved road subset. OSM14 uses Farrington/New Providence Highway/JFK instead. This could involve an alias, old alignment or omission; absence of the name alone does not choose among them.
• The text returns via Bethel→Milo Butler→Faith→Carmichael; OSM14 continues along Milo Butler to Carmichael, leaving the stated Faith return and outer terminal relationship unresolved.
• Root graph review confirms a separate Bethel→Milo Butler break after member 51, approximately 429 m between nearest saved vertices. Bethel ends at Albatross in the saved streets; the source does not enumerate the connection to the Milo Butler roundabout.
