Hey there! I'm a local mapper from Scotts Valley, California. I see that you requested a review of this changeset, so I'm giving it a review.

This looks pretty good, although, I would change the classification from "highway=footway" to "highway=path" to show that is not suitable for vehicles.

Also, if you are interested in a more complex way to improve this, you could add this new path to be part of a new Hiking Route Relation. See the OSM Wiki documentation about Hiking Routes here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:route=hiking. These hiking routes relations show up in many maps such as this one: https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#?map=14.0/37.9024/-122.6093
