Also ignored are the challenges of grade crossings. When asked, the trail-only types' standard answer is "but..but...Monterey...rec trail" which has little to do with the situation here and the number of grade crossings in Live Oak for example. Gates go down for a train because it will run your vehicle over and get you killed. How will grade crossings work for bicyclists and peds who will hurdle across vehicle traffic as rest assured many will not wait for cross traffic to stop? That wouldn't be a very efficient commute route if they did stop for every crossing and wait, but I'm sure Brian has all the answers as he touts himself as knowing so much about commuting. Yet he won't answer yes or no if Cal trans is on board with his dream of BRT stations in the middle of the flipping highway question asked on the Sentinel comments.
