At the risk of stirring the pot, I highly doubt (but could be wrong) that it was the Region's idea to install the fences. Very likely, the business owners required, as part of their negotiations for the purchase of that strip of property, that the Region build a fence. If that is the case, then the question really becomes if this compromise was worth it for the ends of building the connection, or if we should not have bothered since it does not provide a good pedestrian experience.
