   Well, I had Google declare the track "restricted usage" which is what it   
   is. They wouldn't eliminate it, simply because it *does* exist. And, they   
   wouldn't list it as 'blocked', even though it has a set of locked gates.   
      
   So, restricted useage is as good as I'm gonna get.   
      
   They *said* they won't map anyone to use that road *unless* the location is   
   *on* that road.   
      
   It kind of makes sense, so I didn't fight them, as they seemed to be   
   wanting to do the right thing, within "their" rules of how they do things.   
      
   As I recall, it was all fixed and done in a couple of weeks.
