They value-engineered safety away.

I can't disagree with that.   Sad

Well, at some point value engineering should apply to safety, but I have my doubts if safety was a consideration here.   I'm sure they feel they can achieve adequate safety through a no doubt increasing level of fencing and angry signage, eventually forcing students who are running for the train to run on the rails instead of between them.  At least, that would be the route they took with Ring Rd. itself.
