Well, I finally received a reply to my last email to staff about gate cards.

Hi Brittany,

I read the following email which states "Residents will see minimal changes since they will continue to use the same gate cards, so long as they are valid in the system. Cards that were issued or obtained through other sources will cease to function after the migration is completed."

My specific question to you is this. If my card is valid in the system and after having cloned my card to a coin type mirror located card that currently opens and closes the gates, will this cloned card still open and close the gates when the new gate systems are completed? If you don't know the answer, then who does?

And the answer is

Good morning,

Yes, Bruce provided an overview of the gate maintenance and upcoming software upgrade.

The District does not support or guarantee that any card/device will operate the gate other than the card(s) issued to residents at closing, or that they acquire from the District. As the gate software is upgraded, only cards that are valid in the system will function properly.
