Did you ever get an answer? New to this community and just saw this post.
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 ๐คญ.
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.
