There's a railway crossing at Bleams Rd, where the sidewalk just feebly ends feet from the tracks, and then the tracks are well raised above the compacted dirt, and then a few metres on the other side, the sidewalk begins again.
A man who uses a mobility scooter had a wipeout there, because there is no reasonable way to cross, or even, to get on to the road (which would be pretty dangerous itself), so he complained to the city and region.
The railway (GEXR) has topped up the tracks with some rather shoddily installed asphalt, so it's possible to cross, but the Region has put a barricade across the sidewalk to indicate it is closed. There is no alternate sidewalk.
