I needs emphasizing that the name of a path is not same as the name
of a designated route. One path, multiple routes.<br>

<div dir="ltr">The trail winds up having a couple of
places that route through city streets because the
railbed was unusable for one reason or another.
The pedestrian route takes a short path on the
sidewalk because it doesn't need to respect the
direction of a one-way street. The cycling route
uses that path (on the road rather than the
sidewalk) in the forward direction, but has to
detour a few blocks in the reverse direction to
follow the traffic law. <br>

<div>I would argue in this case that the
on-the-ground-reality is that there are <i>actually
two separate routes</i>, which you have correctly
modeled as such, rather than duplications for
different modes of travel.</div>

<div>There are other commenters in the thread who believe
strongly that since the route has one name, one set of
signage over the overwhelming majority of its length, one
operator, and so on, that it must be a single object in
OSM. I'm simply arguing that as far as I can see, a case
like this is passing the data model past its limits. Maybe a
superroute could unify the foot and cycle routes? I don't
know, and I really don't care all that much, because I care
more whether the software that consumes the data will
understand the situation exists in the field than whether a
Platonist would say that the foot and cycle routes are one
entity or two. </div>
