Don't really know why 2 paths were needed but alas. There is also one more to the left that is not visible.

gonna go ahead and guess these are typical walkers gravitating towards different ends of the street as they near the sidewalk, makes sense

Maybe. But the forked end goes to a low traffic road without sidewalk and pretty much just alleyways.
