The original Convention Centre's East/West Sides were planned in such a way to allow vehicle access to the top floors of the convention centre.
Car shows, large conventions etc. I drove vehicles up/ and down these ramps on several occasions to actually unload large displays on the floors of the exhibit areas. I also parked vehicles their as well for exhibition purposes.
The new expansion will not need this kind of access to the areas now planned. CRU's at street level with the existing Convention centre could never have been added, with the way it was planned and laid out. This section was planned in an entirely different fashion.
