Report Details
AI-generated, reviewed by reporter
Metal cable fencing attached to utility posts along the Gatineau Corridor Recreation Trail is sagging and looped at ground level with exposed sharp wire edges, creating a tripping hazard for pedestrians and park users. Multiple posts indicate this is part of a larger hydro containment or security fencing system. The loose configuration presents an immediate injury risk in this high-pedestrian area near transit infrastructure.
