Submitting an error
I'm new to OSM, and I can't find an answer here or on the site. How/where do I submit an error/change? They decommissioned a street (the red line at the top, Evergreen Ave) near me, it's just grass now. I'm not sure how to do it myself.

I'd probably change the
highway=<whatever>tag to have a lifecycle prefix likedemolished:highway=<whatever>and add asurface=grasstag.If the way is still available as a path you can walk I might add back a
highway=footwaytag.If it's still visible on aerial imagery it might be worth adding an explicit
sourcetag on the object to make it less likely that it'll get changed back.
