...which isn't hard to imagine. The access from Philip was an afterthought by the Region, and they purchased a sliver of land to be able to do so. Meanwhile, the "stock" entrance off of Wes Graham Way/the Laurel Trail is done by the Consortium, who, unless specified otherwise, will have no impetus to do anything beyond the bare minimum as far as effort goes - and why would they? To be perfectly clear, I am not faulting anyone over this: I just want attention brought to it, so it can be cleaned up.
Here are a couple more photos of the area.
Maybe it'll look great with a nice curving concrete path, and a bunch of trees/bushes hiding the fence? Right now though it just screams "Welcome to Prison Camp". Not very inviting at all. "HOSTILE TO PEDESTRIANS!!!!", even! :: horrors ::
I'll dig and see if I can find out any more info.
