Changed to 'paved', not deleted. And only the section that is paved 
should be tagged paved, not the other parts that remain unpaved.

If the paving is going to be removed .. then I simply don't bother.
If the paving is going to be unmaintained and deteriorate .. then I'd 
still mark it paved .. and later on unpaved.
