Hello! Seattle has not implemented request buttons and sound signals at every signalized crossing. No need to add these tags unless you're sure. I've fixed a few of these, but it's easier to keep track of what needs to be resurveyed when the tags are not already present.
In a similar vein, I think it's worth keeping crossing=traffic_signals on highway=crossing nodes instead of changing these to crossing=marked. On-the-ground surveying tools like StreetComplete will ask mappers to confirm buttons, sound signals, and vibration feedback for crossing=traffic_signals only. We don't get that tagging assistance for crossing=marked, so changing these may increase the difficulty of maintaining those crossing details.
Thanks for the edits, and let me know what you think!

But those were not sound signal tags, they're foot signals tags I was told to input for when visual pedestrian signals are present. If I add that or add button operated tags, it's always after verifying that the signals and buttons exist with street level imagery, so I am sure about those. But I'll go ahead and let them know about the StreetComplete issue and ask for further instructions, thanks for bringing it up.

Wait a minute, I see what you mean. Yeah it appears that there are some sound tags still from here from last year. I don't add those anymore, but some still remain, and should be removed if they're inaccurate. But it looks like some of my "traffic_signals:foot=yes" tags are being deleted too and I want to know why?

I apologize--I didn't notice that you stopped using the traffic_signals:sound tag. I must have clicked on an older element while reviewing this changeset (which looks good to me). Sorry for the confusion!
I removed some traffic_signals:foot tags when converting a few crossings to the crossing=traffic_signals scheme since it looks like both tags imply the same thing, and crossing=traffic_signals is much more widely used. If traffic_signals:foot has a different meaning or use, you may want to document the tag in the wiki so that others don't accidentally remove it as well.
By the way, the city is currently tearing up and rebuilding many of the sidewalks, curb bulbs/ramps, and signals along Greenwood Ave N. Unfortunately, I see that you already mapped most of the road, but I will try to capture some new street level imagery if you want to update those details.
Thanks again for the edits!
