This is one of those cases where I really wish we had more information.
I’m pretty much convinced that the fences should not be there. I haven’t actually been there and investigated carefully enough to be 100% certain, but based on what I’ve seen in this thread I feel pretty comfortable saying they are a mistake and should not have been built.
That being said, whose mistake? Fearful insurance companies? Fearful business owners? Courts which make stupid liability decisions? City planners following a rule book that clearly doesn’t apply? I don’t know and can’t tell without more detail about how the design decisions were made.
