I hope this true, but maybe there is room for a slight revision in the plans.

I would like to see entrance vehicle entrance to the parking structure under Pershing Square integrated into the Park 5th project. Down the line, if feasible with the Metro tunnel, a second vehicle entrance could even be incorporated into the development on Hill next to the Metro entrance.

This would allow a remodel of Pershing Square without the ramps. The park would then be much more accessible and could be reoriented and perhaps include a cafe and pavilion for a rotating art exhibit connected to one of the local museums (maybe an small exhibition space for the Broad Gallery?) The key to all of this though, is getting rid of those ramps because they totally cut off the square from the urban fabric of the neighborhood.
