Thanks for sending this joint government website. I guess the joint border structures are coming true after all. It looks like only the one in Yukon/Alaska will not have a glass corridor along the border. The border law stipulates that the border must be visible from point to point without obstruction. That's why no human structures or tall vegetation are allowed within ten feet of the border on both sides. The exception is of course the divided buildings east of the Great Lakes that are already on the border. However, even there, nothing new can be constructed on the line. The new joint building design, as I remember reading about it, and the pictures on the Website you sent show, they are planning to seperate the two sections of the building be a surveyable, clear corridor. The International Peace Garden had a terrible time petitioning the IBC to give them a 'treaty waiver' to build the Peace Chapel on the line. The Garden management are currently in another dispute/agreement process with the Bounday Commission for another waiver to allow the construction of a six-foot-tall welcome sign directly on the border.
