Would it work to add a tag "associated_street" and then simply list the
name of the street? For example, highway=footway,
associated_street="East Fowler Avenue".

This might not be a bad idea.  It makes the association without using a
relation (about which there have been concerns raised regarding the
complexity of handling, both for mappers and data consumers).

One question is how 'overlaps' would be handled. For example, http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/56026919 is part of the sidewalk for both Magnolia and Anderson.
