ROSSINDETROIT commented on Pathways of Desire: Detroiters carve their own streets out of the snow
I work at an elementary school near Detroit. Today we had a meeting about snow removal. Our walkways will be clear but once again Detroiters will have to pick their way through the drifts and along unplowed streets. And people wonder why we Midwesterners like 4WD SUVs. I'm trying to get the grounds department to fix several muddy areas around the school where kids walk off the pavement, make mud holes and track the crap all over the building. Obviously the muddy areas should be paved because that's where they want to walk. But that would be a construction project...

entropyred commented on Pathways of Desire: Detroiters carve their own streets out of the snow
This definitely happens on our campus as well. Especially considering even the paved pathways tend to get covered in potholes and develop puddles many feet wide and long, while the "illegal" pathways are merely muddy. They keep putting up these rock garden things in the way to keep us from following the paths, so it's even funnier to see how people have worked the paths around them. I've only got a certain amount of time to get from A to B, so just pave the damn things and rip up the unused ones!...
treacle commented on Pathways of Desire: Detroiters carve their own streets out of the snow
Michigan State University (then Michigan Agricultural College) also waited a year before laying their sidewalks. Obviously worked well, and makes for pleasant stolls on a beautiful campus. The organic,--or as Rudy Rucker might put it: the gnarly--, wins out in the end!...
pjcamp commented on Pathways of Desire: Detroiters carve their own streets out of the snow
Georgia Tech tried this strategy when they remodeled their campus back in the 60's. I was a student there in the mid 70's and got to observe the results first hand. Didn't work out quite so well as other places. The dorms were concentrated in particular parts of campus, on the west edge and along I-75. People would set out along a common path and then scatter to the four winds as they set out for their individual buildings. This led to several paths that went out into the middle of a field and stopped. The construction crews dutifully poured...
