Does this parking aisle really connect to Franklin here, and is it one-way? Bing Streetside imagery from 2021 suggests not

This is two distinct crossings (or, a crossing over two distinct roads), one over a drop-off service road and the other over a parking aisle. The intermediate foot path (or, island) has flush curbs with tactile paving.

do these service roads connect?

does the sidewalk connect to the road here?

perhaps this is a private driveway rather than a continuation of a named residential road?

A couple of these trails are actually two trails running in close parallel. I would like to survey them in finer detail and map the separate routes.

Also, I don't think bikes are officially allowed in Matoaka Woods, but there are many trails, possibly including this one, that are clearly designed for and used by bikers. There is another trail north of here labeled "Bike Trail" on OSM. How to tag these trails (and as a member of the W&M community, how to advocate for allowing bikes on these trails) is worth further discussion

This looks like a dam, but want a second opinion / might do some research on if it has a name

I don't believe there are stairs here any more. I walked through recently and I believe this surface was level with the parking lot to the north. More surveying needed

This is listed as a community garden on the RVA website, but I can't verify from satellite imagery if it's active.

Is this really Mobil Rd, rather than Mobile Rd? This difference appears to be propagated from TIGER
