- the Dom Cardillo trail follows a hydro right of way adjacent to Stanley Park Mall
- the Walter Bean Trail at Lancaster (fenced on the Lancaster Smokehouse side, but not on the other business's side)
- numerous spots on the Spur Line Trail
- numerous sections of the IHT
- the trail from Kimberley Crescent dumps users into the FreshCo parking lot
- similarly the trail behind Orchid Crescent dumps users into the Wild Wings parking lot
- there's the trail coming from the Sunrise Shopping Centre heading west
I could go on, I'm sure. There are other examples where trails are fenced off, notably mostly adjacent to residential properties, however, it's pretty clear that they aren't *required* to be.
In most of those cases, I think those fences predate the trails. Certainly for the IHT and the Spur Line, also Dom Cardillo trail, which you'll note has a fence between it and the private residential property, but not with the stanley park mall.
The lack of access to properties along trails is a big issue with our current trail network.
