However, once the viaduct is rebuilt, the plan is to build park space along the west side of OPO in the old loading dock areas.
Just an update on this, FH Paschen has had parts of Canal closed off for 2-3 weeks now for the plaza work. All the ratty old loading dock pavement is being ripped up, you can see a bunch of round vents for train exhaust. Will be interesting to see how the plaza design deals with this... not super pleasant to hang out above some diesel locomotives.

I thought they were gonna rebuild the underlying viaduct first, but I guess not.
