Hi Bob,

This is probably not the best place for an OSM tagging discussion, however.....

Agreed it is not a service road. I guess it might have been at some
point in its history, before being converted to shared
pedestrian/cycle use. But not today.

However you have changed it to highway=path, and thats probably a
worse choice. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Path_examples shows
that highway=path, on its own, is undesirable for routing. You could
add foot=designated and bicycle=designated, and in theory that should
work, but there is a better safer choice....

Bollards and other engineering works mean it should be
"highway=cycleway, foot=designated" (if it is primarily built to carry
bikes) or "highway=footway, bicycle=designated" (if it is primarily
built to carry feet).
