Here is a compromise ... Make entry gates work the same as exit gates. Pull up close and they open.
That would:
--- Save a lot of money.
--- Still give the false sense of security.
--- Still allow pictures to be taken.
--- Help carts cross.
--- Eliminate the entire gate card cloning issue.
--- Make the entry process so much easier and safer.

HOW can WE get the people who WORK FOR US make this happen?
This makes a lot of sense to me. But change is hard.

Based on the communication for the upgrades, I'm not so sure sure the decision makers understood well how the system or the upgrades work.

Best chance might be to start with the new areas. Do the above and replace the card access with licence plate readers for added security.
