I don't think Shorenstein will do it on it's own. The Apparel Mart loading docks would be adversely affected.
Turning Carroll Street into Piper's Alley would kill off the idea of a Carroll Street Transitway. More commercial along Kinzie is certainly needed but is hard to provide because the Apparel Center and Merchandise Mart form a solid wall at street level.

I walk down along the river to Kinzie quite often (exit from behind the radio station). There will be vehicular access at a minimum, and for residents the access will be easy the lower walkway is already at that level.
