In Google Maps, just click on the "Report a problem" link at the bottom of the map or directions. A form will pop up and once submitted, Google will follow-up within a month! You are correct, biking on Church Street is not allowed, and we recently sent a report to Google about it. Keep an eye out for other problems like this (misspelled street names, paths where cars are allowed when they shouldn't be, suggested bike routes that are dangerous, etc). Reporting them improves the map for everyone! Hey Ethan – There is indeed a way to flag issues like this.

I noticed that it includes Church St. as a bike route (though it indicates that cars are excluded). I believe that biking on the pedestrian mall is not allowed; does anyone know if there's a good way to suggest changes to Google?
