I don't know, I always see recreational cyclists with helmets and sunglasses looking down while playing very loud music on their earphones. They may be looking for obstacles but not for incoming trains.
The multiple gates were overkill but some mechanism to slow people down and raise awareness of the train crossing wouldn't be out of place.
Also, there should be a small report with information about entryways to the Gatineau-Hydro Corridor and ways in which you can connect to nearby landmarks from it coming out this fall.
Gates are needed at railway crossings. Unless you forbid deaf people from riding bicycles.
