Much of the park space would have to be elevated - so you would not be able to just walk/bike across, rather there would be walls along Williams street on both sides of the project. It's very clear that this is an interstate traffic project. The stated goals are to increase motor vehicle throughput on the connector.

Say what?!?! Don't you think if the primary driver of this project was traffic related they could have done it a hell of a lot cheaper if they didn't include building a 25 acre park across a 18+ lane SUPERHIGHWAY?
