if you know the original location, maybe check on street-view / satellite views. Google Earth also has the option to check older footage

I found the exact location for anyone interested: https://maps.app.goo.gl/RtuV3jA3MskYCgvE9

The desire path can be seen on streetview.

very cool! I looked in the city archives, there were building projects in 2011 and 2019 in that area, but there was no documentation about this particular spot, only that the way was too narrow and the surface material not adequate.
