personally i think the railway should just put up a 10ft chain-link fence along the edges of the ROW and have the city build some under passes. that's what i would do if i were them; it would solve the problem instantly.

No, we should be building the correct transit to begin, which means all rail lines should be grade separated a good 8' above or below grade. For White Rock that means actually moving the rail line away from the coast itself, if erosion doesn't eventually do it for BNSF first.
Like, here's a simple proposal. Build a 20' "tunnel" over the rail line where it goes through white rock. Everyone will complain about it being an eyesore, but now nobody gets hit by trains anymore. It doesn't even need to be a solid tunnel, just something with no holes small enough for a kitten to get in. Put some ramps on each side of it so people can just go up it with their bikes and scooter/wheelchairs.
Otherwise, keep dealing with the aftermath of people being killed on it.
