Clearly road safety is much more important and should have much more spent on them, but I don't think the case that this is a *bad* investment has been made, only that it's not too important one way or the other.

I suppose I should have asked you to clarify because I was a bit uncertain and plowed on anyway. My point is more that in many settings we are increasingly risk-averse and will invest to mitigate even remote dangers—but anything that might impede or inconvenience drivers? forget it

I'd also suggest $7m is unwelcome right now given the state of council finances, even if normally that's not terribly large expenditure. Some of the 7 might have drowned anyway, as a fence won't stop a drunk determined to have a dip (see: the drunk and high guy who dived off a crane)

I don't disagree with any of that.
