Though they float nearly as well as very small rocks, ducks do not help those walking or rolling in a wheelchair. They need footways and paths for mobility.

This is a very common mistake that I  also used to make. I now regularly fix these (1)... after I have visited the multi-use path and captured Mapillary imagery as proof of my findings (2).

I blame iD. It suggests calling paved paths "ducks". 

I reopened this note after finding proof my initial concern was accurate (and your assessment hasty). With or without riding it, I will correct the tags on this path soon.
