It *is* specifically designed for pedestrians.

This was still here about 5 hours ago...

This seems wrong. Access=no means nobody can use it; these roads are obviously accessible to and being used by ground crew, etc., which would be access=private.

Please don't make test edits directly to OSM, thanks.

Hi,
Fyi, route=road relations are for things like numbered highway routes (such as Interstate 80, CA 123, etc) or the "49 Mile Scenic Drive" in SF. It's not necessary to create them for ordinary city streets.

Hi,

If this is private access only, it's much better to add access=private rather than deleting it entirely. If you delete it someone else will eventually notice it and re-add it, probably with less info than you could have provided. Also, if you know which part is a fire road and not just a narrow trail the way could be split up and re-tagged as highway=track to be more accurate.

This is not the correct way to map a street crossing a dual-carriageway road. It should have the same classification as the rest of the street, which in the case of West Street here would be highway=residential.

Hi,

This is not correct, and has been reverted in changeset/139422263

Hi,

I didn't look through all of the ways you edited here, but most of the ones I checked appeared to be legitimate alleys that were probably mistagged as highway=residential at some point, or were missing the highwaytag=* for whatever reason.

There are steps and a wheelchair ramp... IIrc there's normally also access through the indoor food court.

This looks like an unpaved road built mainly as an access route for service vehicles to access the water tank. Generally, either highway=service or highway=track would be appropriate here.

I can't find any evidence that horses are even allowed on UCSF's Mt Sutro property. Can you please provide some evidence that this is actually a bridleway, (or a path, or a tree row, or a footway..)?

This Parade Ground? https://www.nps.gov/places/000/alcatraz-parade-ground.htm

Sorry, but which branch of the military is using this decaying concrete surface in a National Park that's described as "...an excellent spot for a selfie...", "...host[ing] annual sunrise ceremonies which celebrate Native American culture..." and "...the trailhead for the Alcatraz Agave Trail and is open when the birds are not nesting..."?

Please familiarize yourself with the meaning of highway=pedestrian and area=yes before continuing to remove the tags from pedestrian plazas. Please take a look at highway=pedestrian#Squares_and_plazas

highway=pedestrian is entirely appropriate for this and similar features. It is a paved area, built for and traversal by people on foot.

I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, so I walked through here this weekend. Bostonship Plaza has not been turned into a grass park. There is no grass. Nothing has changed.

The two are not mutually exclusive. It's actually fairly common for pedestrian plazas to have some form of seating.

The seating area only occupies part of the plaza, btw, and is already mapped here: way/979811982

Rather than mapping Nike Road as tree-lined here, you turned the road itself into a tree row.

Can you explain what you were trying to do here? It's unclear what "...not suitable for usage to cross over" means or how it relates to a way being tree lined.

The Ferry Plaza is a pedestrian plaza. Please do not make edits like this.

In this edit you turned the entire road into a long gate, which is obviously not what you intended. If there's a gate somewhere along the road you need to add a node at the actual location, and put the relevant tags on that node.

(It also seems highly unlikely that this is closed, given that it's the only practical way up from the ferry landing for most...)

This is in fact a rooftop pedestrian area. It is not an area for shopping, nor for businesses to sell items.

Alcatraz Wharf is obviously not closed to pedestrians. What were you trying to fix here?
