I think they should have the pedestrian crossing at University trigger automatically whenever the signals activate for a train, starting the terminal count the moment the gates begin to rise again. Cars would then get to cross for X amount of time before the beg button could activate another cycle. The last time I paid attention (and many time before that) both cars and the pedestrians crossing were red when the signals/gates were active, which is really a lost opportunity for handling Laurel trail flows.
I think the pedestrian/bicycle crossing (crossings under my proposal to which you are replying) at University should be green (walking person) except when motor vehicle traffic on University (or a bicycle in the bicycle lane) triggers a green for the road. Of course since the road can’t have a green when the crossing protection is activated, the trail would definitely get a green at that time.
