Ed, the RiverLine is a great idea, great for South Jersey people who ride to come to work in Trenton and great for people from up here to go down to the waterfront. But I have a problem. Every morning when I come to work, I take South Broad Street and when I get to the county administration building and the train crossover, the gates come down when the train is two stations away. I don‘t understand why this gate has to come down and block traffic and make people wait for such unbelievably long amounts of time. I‘m sure I‘m not the only person bothered by this situation.

You are not the only person bothered by this situation. I have personally sat at the rail crossing wondering exactly the same thing. And the only thing I can imagine is that some federal or state law must mandate that crossings come down within a certain distance. In the meantime, we all have to wait, because I agree with you, the RiverLine is a great thing in this area.
