[Talk-us] rebooting: tagging footways and sidewalks discussion

[maning sambale]

Hi,

2 months ago, we posted this discussion.  So far, we've finished
tagging ~30K ways (sidewalks and crossings)
We focused on several key cities with a lot of sidewalks.  Details of
our efforts here:

The map is updated daily so anyone can continue working on their own
patch: https://mapbox.com/osm-sidewalker

As usual all OSM related mapping we do is tracked here:
https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/issues

Thanks!
