I believe there will be vertical access up to Roosevelt provided inside the tower, but I'm not sure if that will be closer to the river or Wells.
Hopefully something like this:

A connection to Roosevelt, and some thought towards a future connection under Roosevelt when the area to the south is developed, is what I'm looking for.
With the render as it is, we can't even tell if the building is going to abut Roosevelt directly, or be set back like the building in your French example. If it is set back like that, I'd think the river walk should include a route back to Wells on the south side of the tower, so that you can go as far as possible along the river, and perhaps pass under the viaduct behind the bridge mechanism in the future (Is the alternative, an under-bridge, even possible with the width of the river there? I don't know).
I like what we've actually seen of this project for the most part (density could stand to be higher, but if they want to use only the existing PD, oh well), but I'm worried by what we haven't been shown: views from Roosevelt or Wells. Addressing the river well is a great bonus, but addressing the adjacent streets well is basic prerequisite to a good urban development.
