I live in the area, hope the height is reduced a bit. Also not sure if people are aware but the Starbucks that used to be there has closed because the landlord didn’t want to renew the lease

This might be silly idea but just thinking ... was there an opportunity to to put the street car platforms underneath the new south concourse at union? and have a pedestrian runnel to the subway platform?
