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.
Ok, so you wonder why those chose that style -- they could have choses a different type of fencing, something more like a railing that is 30-40" high or was CTC against that? It seems like this style of fencing is the cheapest route -- as is the decking leading up to the crossing.
