Mind boggling inconsistency | Wonder why there are two different approaches to pedestrian safety on the same street just blocks apart? In the 100 block safety barriers protect pedestrians from vehicular traffic by providing a chute between the chain link fencing of the construction / demolition project; in the 400 block safety barriers provide protection for the fencing. Albeit, there is innocuous signage on the fencing directing pedestrians to cross at the crosswalk. It makes no sense.
