True; I was getting at public right of way vs permissive, separately from ownership. In this case, given the explanation that there's an agreement between the owner and the city to permit public access at certain times, that certainly meets the public right of way test. In the US, there are a vast number of places where the public goes (at normal hours), and they are not in fact public rights of way. A typical supermarket or other shopping area has parking lots, and footpaths, etc. In OSM we typically don't have access tags on them. But if we did, access=permissive is more likely right than access=yes.
