I had the same issue getting to my garage.
No sidewalk straight to the driveway from the fort door.
We wore a path in the grass until I put down a narrow paver walkway.
That was a lot of work, even doing it wrong.

That reminds me of a story about architects who designed a college
campus. They put up all the buildings but didn't put in any sidewalks.
They waited a few years until the students wore paths in the grass to
show where to put the sidewalks.


sounds like a story. Not likely any codes people would allow it to
really happen.



I imagine that was where to put more sidewalks.


I told that story on here a few years back about the college in my
hometown. Shortcut paths that they kept trying to close, block, reseed,
etc. and finally after several years they sidewalked the shortcuts.
