^ Agree present design is not good at all. However, collector avenues and 2 super ramps for all N & S entry and exit (like for access to NYC tunnels and bridges) would seem to eat up a lot of additional money, park space and/or space developers would be interested in using for the 10M sq. ft. of new offices mentioned in the Gazette article.

The collector avenues and the 2 super ramps could create barriers to the stated justification of connecting the West Loop to Downtown. The project would, however, create some very needed park space. The collector avenues and the super ramps could be partially paid for by creating a Special Service Area for the property benefitted by the reworking of Kennedy ingress and egress.
