People mean well but usually those attempts at fixing infrastructure are really, really unsafe.
An example is that incident from, what, 10 years ago? Person put wooden stairs up an embankment, city tore it down after two days/weeks and public outcry was "what the heck he made it accessible! You monsters!", and concrete stairs were later put in.
Professionals pointed out all the OSHA violations the "helpful" stairs had, such as no rails, the wood wasn't weather treated iirc.
i agree. i work for the local government and i hate having to tell well meaning people over and over again to stop doing dumb shit and to go through the correct channels. like, im not a narc, but sometimes rules and shit exist for a reason.
