I think the compromise of the valley line is that we want a tram centrally, and an LRT/light metro in the suburbs. I wonder if the compromise is doing crossing arms in the suburbs? And if that increases speeds, awesome. But keeping the central areas without arms feels important too.

The ION LRT in Kitchener-Waterloo is crossing gate-free in the central area but outside the downtown it has crossing arms. That system uses the identical LRVs as the Valley Line SE.

Some of the lines on Portland's MAX are the same: no gates downtown, crossing gates at major intersections in outlying areas.

Moral of the story: Suburbites can't be trusted. 😉
 
I would personally be okay with having Crossing arms in areas outside of the downtown. For example where the tracks pass whitemud and at Roper Road and possibly at 34th Avenue. These intersections on the south side are probably the busiest intersections although I think the whitemud area is probably one where plenty of accidents may occur.
