What would you consider to be an appropriate speed for the LRT through downtown and how does that compare to their current limit?
Also, has there ever been a pedestrian-train collision where the LRT was at fault and if so, was the speed of the train determined to be a factor?

Pedestrian-train collisions are not accidents. They are overwhelmingly due to a pedestrian making the conscious decision to either ignore or defeat methods in place to prevent them from happening. In this case it would appear that it was someone who did not know how to cross the tracks properly.
