Great Fence of Enoggera

My first complaint to the "new" QR...

"At Enoggera station earlier this week a fence was erected across the end of the path between Glenalva Terrace and Enoggera Bus Interchange , which I believe is on QR property. Whilst I assume that this was to reduce the risk of  pedestrians crossing the bus interchange being hit by a (rather rare) bus, it has created significantly more dangerous passenger movements. Most passengers who used to use this path now alternatively walk through a busy car park, and then across a busy road junction (Glenalva Terrace, station carpark entrance, and Pratt Street) where there is no pedestrian crossing. There is now much higher risk of a pedestrian vs car accident in the vincinity of Enoggera station. This seems to be contradictory to QR's zero harm policy.

A possible solution would be to add a pedestrian crossing between the end of the path and the bus interchange island."
