The pattern in a lot of this area, including these streets, is to map sidewalks as footpaths in the physical location of the sidewalk, rather than as a tag on the street. It looks like both the streets that you've added `sidewalk=both` two are this way, so you might consider using `sidewalk:both=separate` instead, which indicates to other tools that the sidewalk is a parallel way.

Thank you for the feedback! I made this change to try to troubleshoot an issue I was seeing with OpenTripPlanner, where when routing down sidewalk ways, the name of the associated street is lost, and I noticed that other streets with separate sidewalk footpaths were named properly and had `sidewalk=both`, but now I'm curious if OTP was ignoring those footpaths and just using the street itself because of that tag, I reached out to the devs for clarification.

One pattern I've seen is to use a relation to group the parts of a street, which possibly might help clients. I'm not sure that exists for a lot of steers around here at the moment, I'd be curious if you see the same issue with e.g. Harvard St in Allston, which I believe is set up that way.
I would think that having both parallel footpaths and `sidewalk=both` would result in most clients interpreting there being essentially 2 sidwalks

Yeah, I confirmed with the devs that it's not doing anything to check relations of separate ways. So yeah the streets in Davis Sq I saw it working with were routing using the sidewalk=both named road, and not the footpaths. I checked and Harvard St in Allston also just shows up as "Turn right onto path" 🥲
