Oh, yes, thanks for letting me know about the tunnel. I didn't realize it was there.

Have a safe Happy New Year's Eve!
They ran tests about moving the cart crossing behind the gatehouse when they redid the multinodal path. But with the entrance/exit to the mail stop right past the gatehouse it was decided that it was not a good idea with the additional traffic flow.
