In other news, WRPS has completely blocked the Queen St. Station south entrance. Entirely needlessly, they say the station is open, but nobody with the slightest mobility difficulty (or frankly, being unwilling to walk through the garden) could access it. They're on a call of course, despite having nobody around, and of course having plenty of other places they could have stopped (they're literally beside a parking lot). I guess being on a call means taking zero consideration into where you stop...or...maybe they are taking it into consideration and blocking a rapid transit station is preferable to blocking 1-2 cars into in their mind.
*sigh*...
This is part of why I think there should be a lot more bollards. The idea is that sidewalks are absolutely reserved for pedestrians, no exceptions, enforced by the infrastructure so nobody with a job to do such as the police or the gas company (or just some random idiot for that matter) can just decide on their own to make an exception. If a utility company needs an exception, they can formally request temporary removal of one or more bollards.
