Quote:Schmidt said the impact on the intersection will be relatively small. Light rail trains are not like emergency vehicles, which automatically trigger a traffic light change to proceed through an intersection.
Trains may modify a light if running a bit behind schedule, either extending a green light or shortening a red light.
"It's more of a slight modification rather than a hard stop each time the train comes," Schmidt said. "It's designed to work with the network."
