Welcome to Southeast Asia! In some countries here road planning is an afterthought. Pedestrian or cyclist access is optional.
I’ve seen it a few times, both of the developers do better planning on their side (not great, just better) but when it comes to connecting to a neighboring area, not such a great job.
This desire path is right in the middle, so without it, it’s a 7km journey left or right from where the picture was taken to the other side.
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.

By perseverance, eventually something coherent comes out.

I received it as well but there is a “privacy notice” underlined link at the bottom and you can read it there.
When I saw what the list was about, Lost was the first series that came to mind.
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 🤭.
