[Talk-us] sidewalks and trails

[Sax-Barnett, Melelani]

There is definitely at least one segment where it's a sidewalk over by
the slough near the airport (I used to ride it all the time to
Vancouver). It's just for a block or two, but it's on the sidewalk.
Looks like it's just tagged as a cycleway along the side of the road for
now: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=45.567406&lon=-122.551772&zoom=18
(take a look at it in Potlach to see the aerial).

It's more like an access path to the trail.

Looks like a sidewalk for the adjacent park and ride driveway, intended
for pedestrians only.  I wouldn't give it a name, and I'd tag it as a
footway.  Also, the powell boulevard access, I noticed someone
disconnected them from Powell, and gave it names that aren't.  Names
should be the name only, not a description.
