The city safety nannies must have decided the construction fence was “unsafe” and required that a stair rail be installed for the concrete stairs (which have been there for years without a rail).
But take a careful look – in fact, two careful looks.
The rail is only in place where there are three or more steps in succession. Two or less steps don’t require a rail.
And on the other side of the fence, the construction workers’ “stairs” are simply dug out of the dirt. “Stairs” dug out of loose dirt are safe enough for them. I guess that’s because they have safety helmets and steel-toed shoes.
Another reason for limited government.
