paths between garden plots

Members of our community garden are suggesting that we change the configuration of plots to allow a one foot path between plots.  This would mean that our space would have to be expanded and a considerable amount of ground that has been previously amended would become pathways.
 
I am opposed to this idea, feeling that it is a waste of space and that, if given a foot for a path, gardeners would simply let their gardens expand into the path, making the path concept meaningless.
 
I would be interested in hearing other's opinions regarding the value of space between plots.
 
Thanks,
