It’s not just a desire path but also a shortcut that saves you 7km. They are trying to block it but it’s coming back on the side.

Edit: Update, how it’s going…

      There are plans for a road about 100m away but funny enough, one side belongs to a township developer and the other part to another. The 2 parts do not meet. One side is complete (up to their side of the project) and the other has been blocked with a construction hoarding for the past 2 years.

      With the project not seeing completion anytime soon, people started to find their own ways around it.

      I reached out to them, made a case about it. I’ll post an update here once I hear from them.

      But yes, it’s 7km so people walking and cycling are pushing through.

          I did. They do not intend to build a proper path. They claimed they would close it due to “safety” reasons.

          That’s what they said. However, and I should probably get a picture of it, they have done nothing. The concrete block they placed was likely pushed down on the floor, where is remains. The new desire path is doing great and has a steady traffic 🤭.

            haha nice. start bringing 1 flat rock with you at a time and you can easily build your own path, especially if others see what you’re doing.
