</div>I would not use footway=sidewalk here. See below for rationale.<br>

</div>That appears to be crossing a street, Delaney Avenue, so it should be<br>
highway=footway + footway=crossing.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>-1. Firstly, I would add a highway=crossing, crossing=* node at the intersection with the way of the road. Secondly, I'm not sure that the way of the crossing would be a highway=footway. Isn't that supposed to be a separate "carriageway"? I mean, there are people who argue over whether it's proper to draw a way for dedicated opposite-way lanes (that are usually delimited by some sort of physical barrier); if that is borderline, this one seems definitely wrong. </div>
<div><br></div><div>On the other hand, I "agree on disagreeing" on using footway=sidewalk. </div><div><br></div><div>Regards,<br></div><div><br></div><div>Simone</div>
