Will any of the intersections along the route be blocked off and if so will METRO maintain access into the neighborhood?

There is a chance that some streets will not be able to cross the guideway.  All crossings and left turns across the tracks will need to be at signalized intersections for safety reasons.  Streets that intersect the alignment at un-signalized intersections will be able to turn right, but will not be able to turn left or cross the tracks.  Specific locations of signalized intersections will be determined during the preliminary engineering phase.
