Union Station itself can be extended upward - I think up to 20 floors, IIRC, on the existing foundations. Last time they talked about doing that, it was for a hotel, which would bring a little evening activity.
The master plan indicates that the new transit center would be integrated into the new building. The plan even holds out the possibility of expanding the transit center, perhaps to accommodate motorcoaches like the Amtrak Thruway route to Madison, WI.
