The primary concern, which I have harped about several times here on LT, is 
safety.
If the arms malfunction in the “up” or “unsafe” position, and one drives across 
the tracks thinking it is safe, only to have the train come full speed ahead 
causing fatalities, or best case scenario, a “near miss”. 
I believe the trains are now all mandated to slow down to X miles an hour when 
approaching any crossing here in Lincoln and blow a “soft” warning whistle 
until thorough root cause analysis, followed by corresponding corrective 
action, is complete.
A very scary situation if you, like me, traverse the train tracks up to a dozen 
times a day with little ones in the car.

wait times?  It was about 5 minutes at Tower around 8am this morning.  I don't 
remember any public notices on changes.  The times are so long that it might 
encourage someone to go around the barriers if they think they are stuck or 
broken.  The other unintended consequence is a large vehicle backup on Rt 117 
which is likely to cause accidents at 117 and Tower.
