I had thought that the Waterloo CAO had misspoken because the construction fence seemed sufficient to mitigate safety concerns and installing a fence of that quality for a temporary measure seemed excessive measure for for profit entity so I sought further clarification with the city of Waterloo and that is the case. The Region, not GrandLinq, is planning to replace the fence in 2018, but probably has to wait until project completion in order to avoid a messy change order of the original specifications. Here is the statement from the city:
"As far as I understand, Cameron Rapp’s response to Councillor Durrell’s question is correct – that the chain link fence (that runs along the ION corridor through Waterloo Park) will be replaced with a decorative fence in 2018. Upgrades to the LRT fence is not included in the budget for the improvements to the Central Promenade, however, I understand the Region intends to upgrade this segment of chain link fence through the Park in the future."

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
