Yeah, I'm wondering this too.  Crossings like University and Columbia are totally appropriate for traditional rail gates, and I'm wondering if they'll go that way. I can't imagine them putting gates in for the street-running sections.

I think they will need mechanical barriers in all cross intersections. Particularly along King when left turns are allowed. Unless they do this, people will try to start a turn left into the red light at the same time as the train is coming.
