I remember being told years ago by an uncle, who was not a lawyer, that Rockefeller Center would deliberately block access once a year to keep their property from becoming a right of way. In England, from whence our laws come, a public right of way that has been used for many years trumps the landowner’s rights.

You said it in a few words better than I have in three posts!

Your uncle was right.
