Along a segment of the commuter rail outside Boston, the fence line intersected the light poles, necessitating modifications in the fencing. This wasn’t just a chain-link fence that could easily be rerouted, but rather a wrought-iron structure that necessitated special curved pieces and required numerous installations along the route.
I imagine the extra effort and expense involved in this process due to a lack of planning on either the light placement or the initial fence location. A few inches’ difference for either would have allowed for a straight installation without adjustments.
What happens in your organization that is like this fence — a workaround instead of forethought? A bit of extra planning on the front end can save much effort and expense in the end.
