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...

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 🤭.
