There does seem to be a scarcity of railings (compared to Brentwood!).
I'm also surprised that the benches don't have railings on their uphill sides the way that planters do (ie at Keefer Steps).
A blind person walking down the steps might reach the bench, think they're at the bottom of the stairs, and walk off the end of the bench. Splat!
