(The problem has its roots in the location of the rails for the Preston & Berlin Street Railway, which is in the rather distant past.) But how would they handle the traffic lights? A second (synchronized) set of lights at the trail crossings? No lights for the crossings? Something else?
My preference would be for a priority crossing, but the most reasonable option is probably a syncronized light.
Of course, regional engineers will not permit either so close to the intersection (remember, they would if it was an intersecting roadway for cars). If the engineers were feeling particularly generious, we might get a pedestrian island.
