Hi there, thanks for mapping paths in PA! I noticed that quite a few of the trails here in Strawberry Hill are tagged as footways. I'd advise away from using this tag on trails and converting them to paths as you come across them. Are you familiar with the OSM US Trails Working Group? We have a strong consensus-driven tagging system support by the community and contributed by mass marked apps like AllTrails and Strava. I'm on the committee. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/United_States/Trails is the best guide out there. I encourage you to check it out and make some improvements in your mapping travels. We need mappers like you.

Thanks,
