Alice lives 2 blocks west and 2 blocks south of the southwest corner of Central Park. Her office is 2 blocks east and 2 blocks north of the northeast corner of Central Park. On work days she walks on streets to the southwest corner of the park, then takes a diagonal path through the park to the northeast corner, and then walks on streets to her office. If her route is as short as possible, how many different routes can she take?
