I like it as a start; the colors of the main roads are muted which is good. 
And I like the map legend which is necessary for visitors to understand the 
map.   There are some other items on my wishlist:

   A regional view should highlight regional hike/bike routes.    I like the 
dashed footway renderings within a park or between buildings, but the dashes 
are lost in the surrounding features for a regional 'greenways trail' for 
example.   One way to do this is for any route relation=bicycle/foot/hiking 
, render in an 'important color'.  Optionally, use the colour= tag of the 
route relation.
   Route planning - choose start / end or manually set waypoints to create a 
GPX track that can be downloaded to a navigator.   This would include auto 
or public transport routing.
  A complete Garmin map download - I could probable rig this up myself with 
the Mkgmap toolchain.
