@thorsten4future @cmconseils That is my life's philosophy. I think about this comic every time I take a shortcut. If you find your park having a two lane shortcut over the grass, you have done a bad job planning that park for the actual users.

I would try to plan out where people will be walking/biking and do those as roads. Then I would wait a year to see where the grass disappears and make that into gravel roads at least. I have seen a few places where that has happened around here.

@cmconseils I wish desire paths led to benches being installed here. They are rare here.

@cmconseils I love that these are called "desire paths" and that they are irrepressible!

@cmconseils In Germany they would just put up a sign "Rasen betreten VERBOTEN" and be done with it.

@schm @cmconseils Thanks! We should always credit the creator, even when they’re on a worse platform.

@thorsten4future @cmconseils They did this at my Alma Mater, the University of Würzburg/Germany. Though I must admit that the campus for natural science is super ugly, I always liked the organic path design. They regularly added paths whenever new buildings/destinations emerged as well

@dragonarchitect

This is the way. My college did a big landscaping overhaul and did the same thing: wait until the students had marked the paths, then laid sidewalks on them. It's so *obvious* once you see it work the first time.
