How to properly tag "Commercial Delivery Route"?

Would you suggest that we edit the OSM Wiki documentation to reflect this? I’m not sure what the process for that would be.

Thanks for taking a look. Some entropy is to be expected. Given the monotonically increasing growth curve, I assume the NYC usage has always been predominant, and the admonition on the wiki was either speculation or a hint to avoid confusion rather than a formal deprecation.

It’s always OK to update the wiki to acknowledge actual usage in the database. A dedicated wiki page about this tag would be a good place to explain the distinction, perhaps citing this discussion.

Also, would you think it’s OK for us to use hgv=local in Fort Worth instead of hgv=yes (while keeping the other tags mentioned earlier)?

hgv=local would resolve the earlier concern about hgv=yes being indistinguishable from a default value. I think that’s an elegant solution, though I’m just one mapper. We’ll need to remain vigilant about confused mappers using this tag for other purposes in the future.

Actually, no, we wouldn’t tag foot=designated on the roadway if there’s a sidewalk, because of course the sidewalk would be mapped as a separate way… right?

Oh, sorry I am Old-school and from the Old World. I am still used to sidewalk=left/right/both. I only hope if they are mapped as a separate way that people still add sidewalk=separate to the main road.
