In some areas there's only space for a wall and no retail but even still, a wall with patterned concrete, art or ivy is better to look at than a chain link fence with loud trains rumbling by.

Building the Evergreen Extension, TransLink had to build a wall in some sections to protect people from the sound of Skytrain. Why oh why has New West not built a wall
along the rail here?
