Thank you Markus for this summary.
I think that the issue of having a good way to describe marked lanes on
the road dedicated for people to walk is still there. In my opinion it
needs a more extensive discussion and some tagging and graphic examples
to show simple and complex application.
As an example, I'm thinking about detailed mapping for pedestrian (or
even people with disabilities) that might need additional information.
Information on width could help to understand if that footway is safe
for wheelchair, or colour could help visually impaired people (or even
smoothness values that can differ from the main road).
In an example with pedestrian lanes (or let's call them footway lanes,
or even sidewalk lanes, ...) on both sides of a two-ways road we could
have on the left side a 1m-wide lane, on the right side a red lane.
How should we map them?
pedestrian_lane=both
pedestrian_lane:left:width=1 m
pedestrian_lane:right:colour=red
or something like
footway=lane
footway:left:width=1 m
footway:right:colour=red
And in case on the left we have a shared cycle/foot lane?
cycleway:left=lane
pedestrian_lane=left
segregated=no
or
cycleway:left=lane
footway:left=lane
segregated=no
I think discussing of specific examples could help us clarifying which
solution is better (or more usable).

Dear all,
The voting on the proposal for a new key pedestrian_lane=* for lanes
designated for pedestrians is over. 8 people voted for the proposal, 5
against it and 1 person abstained. This is an approval by 62%, which
is below the required 75% majority. Therefore the proposal has been
rejected.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Pedestrian_lane
The following reasons for opposing the proposal were given:
- footway[:left/right]=lane should be used instead of the proposed
pedestrian_lane=left/right/both. (mentioned twice)
- More discussion is needed. (mentioned twice)
- Disagreement with the definition of sidewalk=* being a raised or
otherwise physically separated footpath at the side of a road.
(mentioned once)
In my opinion, footway[:left/right]=lane isn't a good idea for the
following reasons: 1. footway=lane is a contradiction, as a lane (part
of a road/path) isn't a footway (separate path). 2.
sidewalk=left/right/both and footway[:left/right]=lane would have two
different syntaxes, which were confusing. 3. lane would be the only
value which were a departure from the usual tag syntax where the value
is variable and the key remains constant.
Many thanks to the (unfortunately rather few) people who took part in the vote.
Best regards
Markus
