I learned earlier tonight, thanks to a Twitter exchange with Tom Galloway, that the Fairway side of the crossing will have no formal infrastructure (such as a path or steps) due to the purchase of the land not being finalized yet. So they will open the fence there, and pedestrians will manage for themselves beyond public property. But at least there will be a designated spot for these crossings, which will reduce the possibility of a tragic outcome.
Sanity prevails! Now if they could have just clued in faster that it doesn’t need to be “by the book” outside of the LRT right-of-way, this could have been done 3 years ago. Or better still there could have been trails on both sides of the tracks, which would also have eliminated the issue.
