This spot should be addressed: the Wren building and footway are shown to overlap!

Unable to answer "What kind of building is this?" for osm.org/way/41263256 via StreetComplete 41.2:

Perhaps this path network should be represented as linear ways instead of an area? Most are paved & can be biked.

I think it's really cool that we have the paths around here laid out as areas (pedestrian areas). I just updated the paths that cross the Sunken Gardens to match (previously they were mismatched).

What is the best way to map these staircases down into the Gardens? My best guess was to use the tag area:highway=steps, but I'd like someone to review this.

If my guess was correct, we need to add highway=steps ways along the centerlines of each of these stairways, as described here:

At the end of the day, I hope we can make the W&M campus friendlier to OSM routing applications.

There is a brick path here that connects the pedestrian area around the Sunken Garden to Sadler, cutting through these roads
