Does the street connection from Upper Wacker to Waterside Drive through Vista mean they have forever foreclosed on the idea of extending Upper Wackeru further east?Chandler and Regatta were desgned with their "ground floors" at the level of Upper Wacker, and with an eventual extension of Harbor Drive between them to Wacker in mind. Even if the actual issue of street connectivity is being addressed by Vista, it would still be nice to have an actual street in front of these buildings. (Can't they tell that this lack of completeness offends my OCD?!)

My preference would be for this to be addressed whenever the area east of Chandler is developed.

Alternatively, maybe an Upper Wacker extension could be added whenever Wacker Drive is rebuilt through there. Considering this section of Wacker opened in 1987, and the segment just to the west was opened in 1975, and that the original stretches of Wacker lasted from 1926-2001 (75 years) and 1954-2010 (56 years) we can predict that this stretch of Wacker will need to be rebuilt sometime between 2031 (1975 + 56) and 2062 (1987 + 75).
