Hi @andyblueg, is the removal of the ‘highway=footway’ an official openstreetmap new rule for buildings? As far as I know, the rules on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Guidelines_for_pedestrian_navigation should be used for pedestrian navigation, for this the ‘highway=footway’ to the building must be used.
I would ask you to revert your changes. Best regards, DP
