I'm not very familiar with Reading, but generally if I am adding detail to
any area of mapping, I will draw in pavements and pedestrian crossings as
seperate 'ways'.
Quite often that's because there's a particular signposted walking/hiking
route that I'm tagging, and it's a bit daft to tag these as

I'm guessing the boundaries are available as open data,
and some brig
