Started adding some of these to Santjana and it really works. I propose an informal ‘law’ in Karolia that if people create these the civic planners won’t obstruct them, and maybe consider adding proper surfaces if widely used.

That’s quite cool, I’ve seen (and used) a few around my neighbourhood but I’ve never thought about it in this way! I had no idea this was such a big thing.

I love when planners actually make desire paths into real paths–I wish it happened more often!

Well sometimes if there is no pavements, some people will take an informal road to the other pavement. On the map at least we can tag as a dirt track.
