What I've done is to create a customized PL2 instance which renders streets and highlights missing sidewalk data. I also provide a background layer of imagery, showing the pavement. From these two things, you can determine if a road has a sidewalk, and mark it up using a simple sidewalk={both|left|right|no} tag.
If you expand the project outside the US, you might want to avoid the word 'pavement', which means sidewalk in the UK.
This will allow a router to determine if the street is walkable.
It's certainly more pleasant to walk on a sidewalk, and a router should prefer sidewalks, but any street is walkable unless tagged foot=no. You simply walk on the side of the road, against traffic.
