For what it's worth, this is apparently from staff involved in setting up the walkway:
Quote:This was a requirement of the purchase of property. From a liability perspective, Canadian Tire (ed. likely referring to Part Source) wanted to minimize pedestrian traffic through their parking lot and loading area. Without the fencing requirement, we wouldn’t have been in a position to acquire the land and would likely have needed to conduct an expropriation process. Had the expropriation process been necessary, there’s very little chance that the walkway would be established at this time.
