Hi, EvilBunnyFuFu!
My name is Sumit and I’m a mapper in the OSM team at Lyft.
Thank you for paying attention to this.
In OSM, there are various approaches to adding links. We adhere to the approach of adding a link only when there is a barrier. However, in this case, I overlooked the appropriateness of adding such a link. I apologize for this oversight. I have reinstated the link in this changeset:

Best regards, Sumit
