Agreed. I understand the need to preserve our parks as open space for the public, however the museum footprint is smaller than the roadways removed, meaning we are ending up with more parkland than we had before.

I honestly wish they went further with the road removal. Cornell south of Hayes should have been removed entirely. Marquette as well, since Hayes already serves as a transverse road connecting Stoney Island with S. LSD. Hopefully this is something that is studied by the park district and maybe considered in the future.
