oh st louis; you absolute shithole of architecual planning
All of the architechtural planning is concentrated in the Arch.
I enjoyed this etymological wordplay. Bravo!
This is true.
Is that what this is though? This looks like repurposed industrial, maybe former rail access.
If so, hard to say it’s planned other than the bare minimum for fire safety.
That's just dirt track on a larger dirt track which is going to connect those places anyway. So the planners were correct making it all a giant dirt track.
This is more like, which side of a pre-designated road are people using. It's more a heat map of a planned track, rather than people laying down new tracks.
Maybe if it was all grass it would better fit here. But the designers generally seem to have known "they'll walk somewhere on this giant dirt road!"...
...and they were correct.
That's grass.
There's some grass, but it looks to be mostly dirt.
It is dried/dead grass, which is yellowish. That is just what grass mostly looks like in winter.
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
