I saw these installed on the Arbutus Greenway today. This doesn't look in any form wheelchair, stroller, one wheel, skate board or bike friendly to me at all.

Is there any practical reason to build those barriers to justify making life harder for above mentioned groups?

Speed bumps.

Probably entering a high pedestrian area or a school zone or coming up to a major crossing...

Thank you for your answer, but this is a bike and pedestrian path. It's not meant for cars.

Yes I know, it's speed bumps for anyone not a pedestrian. It's there to stop people on bikes, skateboards, etc from going fast through that area.
