It was about here, from memory (red line):



Giant ~1.5m ugly galvonized chain-link fencing.  Horrible.  Hostile!!!!

I guess!  Except the two giant birds.  Think of the two giant birds!!

I answered my own question; I guess they're not as giant as I thought (sadface!!) and they're going in the areas already landscaped:

Thanks for the fence location. That is weird … it’s like they don’t think at all about desire lines and where you need to strongly guide people and where you just need to keep toddlers from running into a dangerous situation. I can think of a lot of sidewalks running along roads that need fences separating them from roads before any sort of fence is needed to separate pedestrians from a track carrying just LRVs travelling slowly as they exit the station with nothing on the other side of the track.

On the other hand, if they try to maintain the Traynor area fence with no crossings, I hope and expect the local population is assertive enough that the authorities have to install a Berlin-wall style fence or give up on the no-crossing policy.

Thanks for the Fairview map, I understand better where the birds will be. I think they’ll look great, even if we hope they need relocation sooner rather than later.
