Walkways are generally an afterthought in Johor Bahru, left up to the discretion of adjacent property developers and land owners rather than required when roads are built. Often they are absent, obstructed or impassable, making trips on foot difficult or impossible. A case in point is that around the CIQ there are pedestrian facilities, and in front of the nearby highrises 300m to the north, but the spaces in between have been overlooked. As a result, pedestrians between the highrises and a housing complex to the north have to wind through gaps and find ways past the various obstacles and discontinuities, including through grass and bushes.
The routes taken by pedestrians making their way through the urban landscape are recorded in the form of tracks where they cross greenery or unpaved areas as 'desire lines' or beaten pathways showing where people walk through the dirt and bushes every day. These desire line pathways could well be used to guide roadway planners and designers looking to provide paved and continuous walkways, because they show the most convenient and popular pedestrian paths between points. There are multiple desire line pathways around this cache area.
