ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(02-20-2018, 03:50 PM)Canard Wrote: No, I see this as a hugely stupid thing because:
  • It was supposed to serve dual-duty as a cosmetic wind wall, but also as a way to prevent people from climbing on top of tbe Driver’s facility. Now, a second, probably ugly, fence will be required
  • It will block the view of beautiful LRV’s and the anchor wall from both the trail and the road
  • It will prevent people from moving between the trail and the platforms across the grass, which I actually think is the real reason they have done this

Urbd: you working on this?

You’re talking about Continuum here, right? I hope you’re wrong but fear you’re right. Ugly fences are not what we need. Nice art that happens to serve a function as a fence is much better. And who cares if people cross the grass to get to the platform? If enough people do it that the grass doesn’t grow they should just add a paved path.
