Typical, they refer to the crash as an "accident".
Regardless, it shouldn't be an issue on our line as there is no place where parking is adjacent to the LRT, and in fact zero shared ROW. The only thing I do see happening is drivers choosing to park on the street car LRT to run in somewhere, but we will see.
That being said, I honestly feel the correct solution to the above problems should be a ram on the front of the LRV. Push them out of the way. Passengers have places to be, and drivers who park illegally should have no expectation of returning to an undamaged vehicle. But that's my opinion, not shared by all.
