A lot of universities with large campus grounds take the approach of observing the natural foot traffic wear patterns on grassy areas, and then build walkways where the most worn down parts are.

Its... pretty obvious.

If everyone is taking an alternate, non designed path... your design sucks, modify it to facilitate what people find more effective.

And there's a whole community for them! Not sure how to link to it though.

Just give the URL, I'll do a federated link for you.

!desire_paths@sh.itjust.works

Literally just put it in that way, for future notice - there's no hidden formatting here.

Same for users — just change the ! to an @.

Example: @pageflight@lemmy.world

At least on the official web app, that doesn't render as a link. You've got to do it as [whatever](u/pageflight@lemmy.world)

whatever

Oh, that's annoying. Works fine on Voyager for me.

iirc it's what they did in central park. Don't create paths and later pave the desire paths that show up
