New railings ruin the view?

With little warning, Miami Dade work crews have begun erecting a new railing on the Bear Cut bridge (the little bridge) and on the William M. Powell bridge (the big bridge). Both bridges already have railings facing South, but now the northern sides will have railings also.

While I wouldn’t say it’s a big deal, I do think it kind of spoils the view. I can’t think of too many times where people have gone over the rail. The one that comes to mind, with a cyclist, survived without incident.  Do we really need to put in railings then?
