Yeah, i hope that suspension bridge is not part of the actual design. I've never seen it mentioned before, or seen it in any renderings before now.
As for the parks...the overpasses have been there for decades, and will continue be there, as it's the way that many non-muni buses access the terminal (AC Transit, Greyhound, etc). There used to be parking lots and such underneath the overpasses, so I'd say parks are a great improvement. They won't be 100% shaded all day long, but it's inevitable that they'll receive lots of shade in that location. You can't have everything. There are tons of other parks in SF that are not under overpasses/surrounded by highrises, if the shade things bothers you.
