The fence is there to keep people from crossing the road at the end of that brick sidewalk. The desire path exists because people want to cross the road and are blocked by the fence. You can also see the utilities for the crosswalk to the left of the image at the end of the desire path.
Can you even get through on the bricks? Looks like the fence blocks it.
Looks like it but the fence is probably between the walkway and the road
Wouldn’t want to risk it.
