Hello, Could you please say why you have deleted all these footpaths? They clearly exist on viewing imagery as paths separate to roadways, (Portland Drive area).
Regards Bernard.

Hi Bernard
Paths that run alongside roads should be indicated using the footpath tag on the relevant road. If all paths alongside roads were individually mapped then the map becomes overly cluttered. I appreciate that it can be subjective, for example where there is a wide verge but I have looked at other areas of MK and tried to be consistent. For example, redways are always mapped. -
Comment from BCNorwich
Hi, subjective, maybe yes, but only to the extent that you as an individual want to map. Features should be added to reflect ground truth, there is a difference between footpaths and sidewalks.
Paths that run along the side of a road separated by a kerb can be tagged with road tagging but only as sidewalks, (because that is what they are walkways to the immediate side of a road = sidewalks). Those footpaths that I mentioned are as I said separated from the roadway by a grassed area, they are not sidewalks.
Anyway it's not really a good thing to delete genuine properly mapped features merely because you think they ought not be in the database. Please be aware also that OSM is not a map, it is a database from which maps are compiled. OSM therefore can never be seen as "overly cluttered", that is your perception when everything is rendered. If you wish your map not to show/render particular features you are free to compile it omitting those features. The OSM frontpage map, depending on zoom level, shows all features that are renderable from via its stylesheet. Click on the layers to the right of OSM frontpage to see just a few different styles of rendering.
Anyway what can we do to reinstate these footpaths? I'm willing to revert the changes for you.
Regards Bernard.

Hi, I've reinstated several deleted footpaths while trying to keep the additions you made.
Regards Bernard.
