Looking at your first example in the changeset comment, I wonder if 
there is a violation of "name is only the name" here.  "Harvest Ride 
cycle path", on the pavement of "Harvest Ride", sounds more like a 
description than a properly signposted name.

(My personal feeling is that, whilst I wouldn't change an existing one, 
I think mapping cycle tracks and sidewalks separately generates a lot of 
clutter and also artefacts, because of the need to connect them to the 
associated road, for routing.)
