which I guess should possibly be tagged in OSM as a highway=living_street?

The language on the SDOT page is very confusing! It's solely about bicycles
not having their own lanes and having to share space with cars, not about
pedestrians. For the CityLab page, that living street is several blocks
away on Bell St closer to 1st and 2nd. It's possible something has recently
changed, but I believe Pine is not a shared / a "living street" between 4th
and 5th.

That does seem like a problem, though I'd suggest that if this tag were
adopted it'd be an easy fix on iD! As of the status quo, what should happen
when there are pedestrian signals re: markings is effectively undefined,
despite opinions on the mailing list. With something like crossing:signals,
tags for markings would never conflict with tags for signals.

Best,

Nick
