For what purpose? That’s like suggesting that if people keep jumping your fence and trampling your roses because it’s a shortcut to a public park (in this case, the county records office) that already has public access roads, that you should be obliged to build a sidewalk through your garden, at your own expense, when the real answer should be that the public road should be improved.

If your goal is to get your roses to stop being trampled, it's probably easier to install a few pavers than to spend years petitioning to get a road built.

The ideal answer and the efficient answer are not usually the same.
