My buddy owns a business at that corner and witnesses the accidents and near misses all the time Simple fix would be to freeze the intersection for the train. Problem solved
I mean, people constantly complain that the region didn't do this enough.
But let's be clear here, that isn't a solution because drivers which do not look and see and avoid crashing into the 80 foot 30 tonne LRV are the same drivers who kill pedestrians and then *shrug* and complain "they appeared out of nowhere".
The simple fix is to start holding drivers to a higher standard, and revoking the licenses of the ones who fail. Incidentally, this would also fix traffic congestion, pollution, etc.
