I have started in the past several attempts to open a discussion on this, but it felt like Don Quixote. See this as an example: <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/488627565/history" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/488627565/history</a> I have surveyed it myself, like many others, where I began to reclassify the very narrow footpaths from pedestrian to footway, but I am not local and people destroy the finer grained distinction of footway and pedestrian as soon as you add them, I guess they do not want the red dots. It is unfortunate, because it makes the Venice map much harder to read and less useful. If you are local, please try to improve the situation, we do not need new tags, it would be sufficient to apply the existing ones consistently rather than indiscriminately.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,<br></div><div>Martin<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></blockquote><div style="16px" text-align="left"><br></div> </body>
