  I am working on some multi-use paths that travel on sidewalks for some

  as a separate way is now an approved practice, and I'd like to do this
  for the parts of the trail that become a sidewalk for awhile. However,
  the approved tagging is highway=footway, footway=sidewalk. The trails
  I'm working on are multi-use, thus they should be highway=path, so would
  I need to add path=sidewalk to indicate they are a sidewalk?

 Where is it a sidewalk?  I could be wrong, but I swear I've been up and
 down this several times and can't recall a segment where it runs on the
 sidewalks.


It's more like an access path to the trail.

Looks like a sidewalk for the adjacent park and ride driveway, intended
for pedestrians only.  I wouldn't give it a name, and I'd tag it as a
footway.  Also, the powell boulevard access, I noticed someone
disconnected them from Powell, and gave it names that aren't.  Names
should be the name only, not a description.
