These three wayspots should all appear in Pokemon Go as they are the only wayspots in their respective cells, but none of them actually appear. Can someone take a look at this?
Thanks for your feedback. We’re constantly making improvements to Pokémon GO and occasionally, you may notice changes to the PokéStops or Gyms in your community. While we are not able to fulfill your request to add back these locations at this time, we recognize the disappointment this may have caused and hope you continue to seek out adventures at other PokéStops and Gyms in your surrounding communities.
Yeah, this non-answer is pretty disappointing. Why are these wayspots not appearing? Why can’t they be put back? I’ve seen you do it for countless others. Here. Here. Here. Here. So what gives?
Without knowing but looking at those locations there may have been a request by the local authority or hospital administration to have those PoI removed for safety reasons. Since the request form is Pokémon Go specific and the databases are now separated it may only effect PoGo.
Another thing you can try that depending on the area and situation, I have had success with. If you are able to make a valid edit to one of the PoI the resync of that information may trigger it to appear. I would think any block in PoGo would remain. I would advise not to make an edit just to make an edit. If there is a need for an edit for better information then it’s something to try.
We have a hospital here that they asked for all the PoI for PoGo to be removed, but the Ingress PoI remain, probably because there are very few ingress players left and they don’t congregate around the hospital.
Even if the hospital had Niantic disable those Pokestops, then something went wrong because two of the three aren’t even on grounds that belong to the hospital. One is a large public transportation hub and the other is a piece of artwork on public ground.
I havent looked at the specifics on these so no opinion either way… just wanted to say owners can request removals outside of tjeir property if it could disturb them, at least that was true for single family owners as per the lawsuit.

That’s why I put local authorities as well. If there was an issue and they contacted Niantic then they may have determined which ones they wanted to exclude.
If there was possible the ones outside the hospital grounds had another PoI at one point that was removed, that might be why they don’t show up.
I had an art piece get removed in a cell that had 3 other PoI in it. When none of them synced into PoGo that when I noilticed one was misplaced so I submitted a location edit. (it was another art piece and it’s PoI at the time was on the wrong corner) when it was accepted it synced into PoGo. That’s why I suggested so find a legit edit on one of those ones that isn’t synced and see if they helps.
