The study really should be completely reworked now that the convention center is going to the east of the park and represents more time, money and energy wasted on the previous site which of course the City never owned.

Anyway, it's fun to look at:

Nice. I'm in favor of any plan that removes the Cox superblock. Doing so will not only allow the CBD to expand, but will open up the CBD to Santa Fe Station and to the heart of Bricktown by way of the pedestrian concourse that will soon be constructed as part of the redevelopment of the station. More importantly, at some point in the future when a regional transit system is in operation and thousands of people are arriving downtown everyday by way of Santa Fe Station, the station will become as important a gateway to the CBD as the Boulevard. By breaking up the superblock, there will be a tremendous opportunity to develop a very inviting front-door experience into the CBD from the station.
