Walking on the grass - big deal! or what's the big deal?

If they made sidewalks where people walk, we wouldn't have a problem. Since we PT on all the grass anyways, I don't see a problem with it.

"Other".

People tend to walk on the grass in pretty much the same patterns and end up wearing paths. It's a shortcut-- a shorter, simpler path towards a goal. If we allow people to walk on that path, yes, the grass will be worn down. It won't look attractive and mud & dirt will be tracked in, and so on. But the better solution in my opinion is to just allow a gravel, sand, or stepping stone path exist there-- or better yet, no damn grass since it is a waste of time, effort, water, and money. Gravel, stone, or sand. Quit wasting money on greenskeeping.

We should worry about real threats, like hands in pockets and PT belt shortages or something equally horrifying.

Doing the little things right, every time. It breeds a sense of Vigilance. Vigilance is even more important than Discipline.

Is walking through the grass a big deal? No. However it's not the ACT, it's the ATTITUDE that matters. Why are you walking through the grass. Is it expedience? Or laziness? (they are different).
