footway=sidewalk is not documented used as an add-on tag to highway=whatever, but for sidewalks which are mapped as separate ways. In this case, a separate way seems quite clearly not a good choice, considering that there is no physical separation whatsoever. For sidewalks as add-on tags to the main highway, we commonly use sidewalk=left/right/both/no. So I would suggest sidewalk=right, plus sidewalk:right=lane in analogy to the existing cycleway:right=lane.
