It has the heavy gates at crossings because CN owns the rail corridor between Uptown Waterloo & Northfield drive and runs freight trains late at night. Since it is not a dedicated line, is has the have standard gates.

Everyone hated it until it was done and it was a hard sell to many people that can't imagine living without having a car. Also they decided to replace the water pipes and sewers at the same time as installing the LRT line on some major roads and fucked the city up for 3 years passing people off.
