I provided you with just one legitimate reason and I am confident there are many more reasons. If you don't like the rules and laws of engagement then advocate for change through the proper channels but don't arbitrarily say that the people are bad at their jobs. I suspect they followed the rules, and built this to conform with the rules to protect the public and the organization they work for. That means they actually did a good job.
No, those are excuses. Reasons would be things like, the pedestrians actually want to go this way, and the fences protect private property of some kind.
Neither of those are true. I don't consider fear of litigation or other excuses as actual reasons why the world should be bad, those are just systems that we invented to govern ourselves descending into dysfunction.
The rules are open to interpretation, there is no law which says there must be a fence there, there might be a policy, there might have been a request, it would be the job of the people building it to push back against those things which make it worse. We do this reliably with roads....we rarely ever do it for pedestrians.
