Desire paths Desire paths can be paths created as a consequence of erosion caused by human or animal foot-fall or traffic. The paths usually represent the shortest or most easily navigated routes between origins and destinations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desire_path

It's not just a desire path but also a shortcut that saves you 7km. They are trying to block it but it's coming back on the side.

Edit 1: Update, how it was going...

Edit 2: How it's going now... They blocked the previous path and guess what? There is now another desire path, under the tree.

7km?! Why the hell are they blocking it

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago (7 children)

I reached out to them, made a case about it. I'll post an update here once I hear from them.

But yes, it's 7km so people walking and cycling are pushing through.

Did you ever get an answer? New to this community and just saw this post.

I did. They do not intend to build a proper path. They claimed they would close it due to "safety" reasons.

That's what they said. However, and I should probably get a picture of it, they have done nothing. The concrete block they placed was likely pushed down on the floor, where is remains. The new desire path is doing great and has a steady traffic 🤭.

haha nice. start bringing 1 flat rock with you at a time and you can easily build your own path, especially if others see what you're doing.
