With the pavilion part somehow making it impossible for people to cross through, that is BS for a number of reasons. First, Portland's blocks are small, just go 200 feet in either direction and you can go around the building, it isn't some 1000 feet long building that is a physical barrier in the city. Also if you walk through the cut through that is there now, you hit a dead end at 11th because there is buildings in the way blocking anyone from walking all the way to 14th, so it isn't like this is some main pedestrian walk way. Basically this is just a handful of people that like being able to cut through this area and don't want to have to adjust their walking route by a small amount to make the museum better.
