Hi Belmemes,
I've been looking at your recent editing of the trails in St. Joseph's Hill. Your changeset says the trails were "unmaintained track roads", and I guess that's why you consider them paths rather than tracks. But the wiki characterizes paths as " not intended for motorized vehicles" and tracks as " that are suitable for two-track vehicles, such as tractors or jeeps. If the way is not wide enough for a two-track vehicle, it should be tagged as highway=path. ". For general multipurpose trails in wild lands, this distinction is followed by all just about all mapping around California (and elsewhere AFAIK).
Most of the trails in St.Joseph's Hill are in fact wide enough for vehicles, and are definitely used by Open Space District Ranger truck patrols, and if necessary by emergency vehicles. So I would maintain that the existing definition of these trails was correct. The only trails that are truly paths (ie, too narrow for vehicles) that I can think of off the top of my head would be the Brother's Bypass, the Flume, and the Serpentine Trails. I'm pretty familiar with the SJH Preserve because I volunteer with the MidPeninsula Open Space District, and do trail patrol there (on foot and riding in District trucks on occasion) frequently.
What do you think? Would you buy the above point of view?? I want to change the trail designations back to the way they were, but didn't want to do so without discussing with you first. -

Ok, you can do that.

OK, good. I'll make the changes, but I'll leave your good LG Creek Trail changes. Kudos for all your other changes, BTW. Very useful...
