I don't think you'd really be able to do fencing... unless it wouldn't block hydro access at all. And judging by how open it is, doesn't seem like it'd do much. What really should have happened is the transitway actually looped under the ROW to go through the new Parker residential, then around the back of the dog park to where McGillvray Station is going. Keep Parker's park and ride where it's planned, and Parker Station is a narrow-profile station like Harkness Station, right in the middle of the new neighbourhood.

Where Parker Station is planned is ridiculous – you'll have Parker and McGillvray Stations on the edge of the same neighbourhood, serving the same square km of people. If they weren't going to build a station right in Parker, surrounded by real TOD, they should have eliminated one of these 2 stations, and just put one in right at the bend in the transitway – a max 1 minute walk from each of the planned stations.

My #1 preferred option is in red, option #2 in blue.

Note – proposed red route & station could move around almost anywhere within the Parker area, but right now where it's planned – over 50% of Parker neighbourhood is 500m+ away from the station.

They made the same mistake further south. Why have both the Clarence and Chevrier stations? they are so close to each other. You only really need one station.
