^ Thanks for the clarification! Yeah the raised intersections like the ones on Harrison by my alma mater sound much better than what I was imagining, which I guess was more of crude asphalt speed humps you find on some side streets.
My gripes on the lack of connectivity and extending the street grid remain however.
Although again, this isn't the developers fault. The site is frankly isolated and difficult to connect to, from all sides really. The RI tracks/Dearborn Park to the east, the river to the west, and the mess of rail lines/St. Charles Airline to the south. The north end has the best access, but even then Roosevelt is elevated and you ramp up to it in the case of LaSalle St.
