I would just edit the way and change railway=rail (or whatever) to highway=cycleway or footway. I don't think there's an established standard for multi-use paths. If it's off a bit, you can either insert a few nodes to make it fit better, or you can actually drag the whole way to move it. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
