[OSM-newbies] Adding Walking Trails

[Clifford Snow]

I'd like to add a walking/biking trail in Seattle.  It loops around a lake.
 Is that appropriate to add?  If it is, the trail uses parts of an existing
bike/walking trail, the Burke Gillman trail.  Since OSM doesn't have layers,
I'm wondering how to show it.  I have a bike gpx I can import, but mostly I
plan to use my knowledge of the route to add it to OSM.  It is the section
that duplicates the Burke gillman trail that I'm not sure how show both
trails.

Also, there are parts of the trail for just walking (on docks and sidewalks)
while the bike trails follows the city street.

BTW - the answers I've been getting have been very helpful.  Thank you very
much.

Thanks,
Clifford
