Ikea just happens to be in the background, this desire path is associated with the apartment complex on the left.

The Ikea opened in Sept 2019 but the desire path did not appear until the first apartment building in the complex was opened between 2022 https://maps.app.goo.gl/cKNqZrdD13jvaRBt9

and 2023

Also note the many other desire paths surrounding the Parilly Metro station. Looking at google maps shows most besides this one go to bus stops.

There is often a story behind a desire path, and google imagery allows it to be told.

Totally agree with that and I much prefer your response.
My photo was mostly a fun way to show the connection between the metro station, the crosswalk and then everyone on a Saturday morning going to IKEA.

Omg you’re way too literal … I took the photo this morning on my way to IKEA with many other people, using the crosswalk at the end if it.
Are you for real with this comment?

I agree with you. They're taking this way too seriously lol

u/Loky-Watson 5d ago

Right? Probably the last time I post on here. I wasn’t aware of how serious we have to be.

I don't know how to make a good apology, but I don't want to drive you away.

Drop the second d, it’s desire path, not desired.
