Raise the tracks!
No 'gate' issues in San Carlos, Belmont or anywhere else the tracks have been raised.
Infrastructure = progress.

The same thing happened last night around 10pm, all four crossings were closed. Grade separations are long overdue.

We agree. Time to stop stalling and elevate the tracks all the way through town. Grade separations are a safety issue, congestion issue, and noise issue.

Since the problem is caused by Caltrain's infra structure, rather than raise the tracks, just close down money the losing, lousy performance, suicide corridor of Caltrain, and realize the tracks no longer belong down the heart of our city.
Indeed all the problems are simply caused by Caltrain, so let us just close down Caltrain. Now that is a great solution

We need to make the peninsula more car friendly. Lets replace El Camino Real with a double decker freeway.

ABAG is promoting the building of high density housing along the rail corridor. Check out Redwood City. There are several new apartment complexes going up near their R/R station. Soon, Menlo Park's El Camino Real will be filled with the same, including the Roger Reynolds lot and the Foster's Freeze location.
The occupants may use the train to commute. But, they will also all have cars and be on the road as well. You haven't seen anything yet.
