What are these temporary railings for, @rideIONrt? #wrLRT pic.twitter.com/vRy3SXy0TB

It's almost as if "Hey, service is going to start in 2 days! So we need some temporary fences quickly!", except... service isn't starting for a year. So... if it was starting in a year, you could have time to put in permanent ones.
...so what possible purpose could they serve?
If I had to guess, they can't leave the curb w/o a barrier because there is no warning/indication that there's a curb there.
Edit: This one quoted might be just to keep away from the post? The one I was thinking of was the one on Northfield where the open side has a lowered curb but the rest is normal curb.
