"Trenching" 345 doesn't free up real estate though. I doubt anything but 1 story buildings would be allowed above a cut and cover "trench" rather do Riverfront and 35 than i345 Although it is very difficult to pull off economically and politically (with multiple agencies involve...

There's a chance, however unlikely, that moving the station would cost less than the current plan to remove it. That's what I am thinking/hoping as well. Even if it does cost more, it will be better value per dollar spent to maintain service in this location than not. Long term, I believe that all ...

Per a rough area measurement in Google maps, each floor is +/- 80,000sf, X 9 floors = 16.5 acres. That's about the area of the 6 blocks located between Ross & Bryan and St. Paul & Olive.
