Hi, we had a long-ish discussion here (or was it over at imports?) about adding sidewalks, especially related to a project called "OpenSidewalks" which boldly announced a massive attempt at doing so.
I recently stumbled across this changeset in Austin, TX: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/603909001 In it, an untagged line was added 24 days ago, with a vague promise of using JOSM later to add relevant tags, which hasn't happened yet. What's more, there are some erratic sideways in the same area, un-connected to the road network and un-connected to each other, see e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?editor=id&way=603909004#map=21/30.28318/-97.74670 and as such hardly usable for anything like pedestrian routing. And they don't even look good on the map. I really wonder what the purpose of this is. At least they're all tagged with "project=OpenSidewalks" which makes it easier to delete them once the project has run out...
