Not sure if this was an import, could well be an enthusiastic mapper.
I'd (personally) rather see this be improved upon, mapping legal crossings that the original mapper failed to know about.  Do I understand right that there is a thing called `jaywalking' in the US where one can only cross at designated intersections (which I do not see marked here, only stop/priority lines).
These lines have the advantage that they accurately follow the physical walkway, unlike the street lines, so could be used by GPS-controlled robot guide dogs for the blind when enough birds giving centimetre- rather than metre-level-accuracy  are whizzing about overhead.
But then, when I'm on foot, I'm looking where I'm walking and not using a map app to decide how to get step-by-step from A to B.
Don't forget sidewalk=none.  A bug-report was filed by one of these mappy apps complaining about problem, no sidewalks, when the OSM data made no mention of their presence or absence.  Still trying to decipher the meaning of that one.  Solution?  Bug your local council to lay down a pavement, OSM is not a charity.
You have a desk?  Luxury.  But then I find the floor more comfortable, with a heating pad in this unheated room.  Saves valuable time from the moment I pry my eyeballs open until when I can download the latest changesets and upload more PoGo Parks and city-wide lakes.
Plus the one or two times a week I do sleep, it's not so far to fall as from off a chair (other less risky seating options are available, sofas, beanbag chairs, an elaborate winched rigging setup consisting of chains, ropes, meathooks)
