Since the Eastside Extension is being built above ground, it looks like Temple east of Alameda will be the best place for a Connector Portal. This would locate the wye-junction at the only place that is feasible: Temple/Alameda. This also makes for very flexible routing.

I can't imagine the Connector would be elevated as it passes City Hall on Temple Street. Too much security risk, as well as the fact that it would block views of one of LA's most important landmarks.
