I wonder what Reading International is waiting for? Although it's good news for us.

Tearing down the bit that crosses Tenth and leaving the rest is sort of like ripping Newtown Junction out of the SEPTA Main and then saying, 'Well, the rest of the lines are still there.' A park of this nature doesn't function unless it's linear and without that bridging piece you'll just have a bunch of sections too short to be turned into a linear park.

BTW the original Chinese Wall (the PRR embankment) is still there: JFK Boulevard rests on it.
