If the only part that is elevated is that far west, I don't see it having any impact on Core 2 Shore. Am I wrong on this?
The question is do you want the decimated area of blight as was left by the old Crosstown to remain on the "backporch" of the future Core to Shore developments? If it is once again cut off from the rest of downtown and no redevelopment from the Farmer's Market eastward occurs, do you really think people will want to move from Edmond, Mustang, Yukon, Norman, etc to what would otherwise be a nice area in C2S?

The city leadership does not seem to be looking very far forward on this one......they have tunnel vision on the area immediately adjacent to the Central Park and not much else.
