Hi,
I have restored the path and marked it access=private. It is better to contact the previous mapper and get their ideas on this kind of thing - particularly when it is recent. See https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/130144565

Another hint ... the tree area and the residential area .. those can cross one another, one being a land cover the other being a land use. 

Keep mapping, your local and can 'see' more than armchair mappers using imagery.
