Really this whole underpass issue is really one of time management.
So we have to pay millions of dollars so that we can get to the ‘other side’ whenever we need to? Honestly, there isn’t that much over there. Why did the pheasant cross the train tracks? At many intersections now pedestrians are given notice of how much time will pass before the signal will change.
I would suggest an electronic sign at both ralway crossings that tells folks how many minutes until the tracks clear. Most of us have more than one reason to be out and about.
