University of Maryland did this with their walkways for a while. They let the kids beat down paths for the year to make the sidewalks.

Makes heaps of sense, when you can. Still need something for people in wheelchairs and stuff early on though.

I've often thought painting lines across paths and then observing the paint wear off could tell you a lot about which paths could be removed, or where corners could be rounded off better.

They had regular sidewalks that the campus planners made. But they took a year to see what the students walking paths looked like.
