<br>
We are working on improving tags for sidewalk in the US. Details in<br>
this issue [0].<br>
The sidewalk detection algorithm runs OK in most cases but fails in<br>
some [1]. Mostly the contention was whether a footway separated by a<br>
grassy area from the road is considered a sidewalk which was already<br>
discussed in this list [2].<br>
<br>
The wiki defines sidewalk as "often separated from the carriageway (or<br>
roadway) by a kerb (also curb)". [3]<br>
<br>
As in most cases in OSM, we would like to defer to the local (US)<br>
community on how they define it.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
