If they can get that last segment down to Vine, what would be interesting to do would be to build a new "bridge" extension over the Vine Street Express Way - extending the path a little farther - with a stair entrance near 12th or 11th on the southern side of Vine (the Center City side). This would put an entrance 1 block from the Convention Center, close to the heart of Chinatown, and technically Center City. All of which would help to drive foot traffic.

The City better be collecting taxes on this private property!
I think a bridge over Vine St. would be a great way to try to connect this 'park' with CC, but there would need be a lot done on the south end of the bridge to really make it work, not just a set of stairs,
