Crossing at the light could be a temporary solution but you'll never see it as permanent because if it was, NOBODY would ever use the tunnel and would prove to be a huge waste. IMO, the tunnel could be permanently eliminated along with filling in the associated ramps, and approval granted to cross at the light as they do for Alhambra and Santiago. How much nicer that would be. It would cost a bit but it wouldn't be the 1st time huge chunks of money has been put into tunnel modifications, such as the tunnel at Freedom Pointe by eliminating the north ramp.
