From Fixexpo.org - Damien Goodmon's site - In the PUC hearing regarding a separate crossing at Del Mar Ave on the Gold Line, the MTA (Pasadena Blue Line Authority) claimed that line of sight was not important if crossing gates were implemented (The video is of Avenue 50 crossings; Del Mar and Ave 50 were both part of a consolidated proceeding). The Administrative Law Judge rejected that argument en route to rejecting the at-grade Del Mar crossing application saying: "The laudatory endorsement of safety provided by gates, even the new 4-quadrant gates, do not satisfy us for all circumstances. If gates were the definitive solution to crossing protection there would never be instances where drivers crash through them on the way to an accident." His decision at Del Mar was overruled by the full Commission in a controversial 3-2 decision.
