Ya. As soon as there is a train involved, all of 17th turns to junk. The roads that cross the LRT tracks seem to get a green before, during, and after the train crosses.
Why they keep giving a green to traffic blocked by the crossing arms is beyond me. It routinely happens @ the Christie Park Gate intersection, and its only a matter of time before an old person gets hit by an LRV.
Poor timing that backs up 17th is one thing, poor timing that gets someone hurt is another.
