I work for a regional development agency and we have begun a sidewalk 
collection program for 11 rural counties in Southern Ohio. We have finished 
with one small city and I want to import this data into OSM, possible for use 
with some routing/walkshed analysis with an as yet to be determined routing 
engine. The data was collected by our agency which is state and federally 
funded, so the data is in the public domain.

Basically we will follow the sidewalk proposal outlined here - 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/sidewalk_schema

For example -

highway = footway, footway = sidewalk;
highway = crossing, crossing = uncontrolled

We collected pedestrian signals so for those we would use "crossing = 
traffic_signals".
We also collected curb ramp information, so for those we would use "kerb = 
flush". How to extract those as points, then merge those points back to the 
nodes of the crossings, that is something I will have to look into.

I am looking for specific guidance for this process, more than what is outlined 
in the wiki. For anyone with prior experience on importing please email me 
directly.

Thanks
