Without knowing the area, I can only speculate that "Tri-Cities" is a locally
common name for the entire metro, but assuming it is, I like the way it looks
on Mapnik, so it seems like a case of tagging for the renderer. How about
"place=metro"?
More could be done with metro areas. For example,

First thing I thought of when I read this is how we could really
benefit from UUIDs [1]. If we had those, and tagged OSM elements,
Wikipedia articles, and Flickr/Picasa/etc images, and who knows what
else, life would be so much better. :)
There's some good discussion on this page [1].
But yes, mo

Please voice your opinion in the vote on the "Tree rows" proposal:

Yes, that's correct. Route numbers do not need to follow named roads.
That road's changing names & numbers are never ending source of local
trivia and can confuse

What is the "proper" way to tag a boundary for a suburb? I'm trying to avoid
using "place=suburb" nodes as they don't accurately capture the boundaries of
the neighbourhoods I'm attempting to map.
I've been playing around with this in my area and came up with two examples:
Example One:

I am interest in knowing the best way to do this as well. I'm working
on mapping my area, which is called Burke Centre, which is further
divided into five "neighborhoods", and those are broken down into a
further 65 "clusters". The one cluster I've labeled is just a way:
