I feel like we are right on the cusp of having the south branch see some very rapid change.
Its unfortunate that literally all the changes will be on the east bank of it, though. Hopefully one day the air rights over the Amtrak/BNSF/Metra railyards on the west bank can be acquired by a developer, although the logistics of building over them is probably going to be quite a feat to overcome.
