I'm a developer on OpenTripPlanner, and I'm writing to clarify things for talk-us members who may not be familiar with the OpenTripPlanner project. I hope my mail will go through as I am not a member of talk-us. OTP is a multi-modal router, supporting bikes, pedestrians, and public transit. It can even do cool things like letting you bike to a bus station and then put it on a bus, in awesome cities like Portland which allow this. Like any router, OTP requires clear rules for whether a cyclist or a pedestrian may use a way. But OTP does not restrict what tags are used to define these rules. That is configurable on a per-install basis. So, if Portland are OSM editors decide that highway=cycleway means bicycles and pedestrians can use the way, that's totally cool. Meanwhile, if in some other area (San Diego, say) highway=cycleway means strictly bicycles only, then OTP users in San Diego can configure their version that way. tl;dr: make any locally consistent decision based one what's best for the map and don't panic about OTP.
