[Talk-ca] Sidewalks

[Harald Kliems]

Personally I don't map sidewalks like that but I respect local
mappers' work and would not change this, as it isn't really wrong. I
don't think there's a strong consensus to map sidewalks merely as
attributes of the adjoining road, and there are a lot of problems with
that approach, too. E.g. how to mapp accessibility features like curb
cuts or the need to chop ways into tiny segments in cases where
sidewalks appear and disappear.
Cheers,
 Harald.
