To everybody acting like the desire path is the problem:
- If the problem for you is that it’s ‘bad’ or ‘illegal’, grow a spine so that when you need to break the law, for something that matters, you can do it with dry pants.
- If the design doesn’t take into account how people will interact with it, it’s bad and lazy. Only time it would be acceptable to ‘force’ a way to interact with something is when there are safety concerns, and there are none here.
- You are traped in a cage of your own making, break free or perish like the dog you are.
I wanted to say that surely nobody is complaining about desire paths and then I scrolled just a little bit… yikes!
But why is it human nature to put a bench right where people are walking. It’s like people in charge get off on creating obstacles for the common man just to feel powerful.
Over time, it will destroy large parts of the park.
Well, don’t design park the brain-dead way and try to actually think about visitors and their needs. As in make a straight route to a damn crosswalk instead of making it an obstacle course.
What? No! You should be happy to even get any green to begin with.
