I agree that it feels like a barrier between Chinatown and Downtown but it is only a perception. The real barrier is the fact that no development has happened in the few blocks North of the underpass in as long as I could remember. It is a huge contrast to Downtown visually just like everything East of 97street before Hyatt popped up. If the underpass is removed some of the perception will be removed as well; but if some nice dense development happens like the Pacific Rim mall towers, you will not even notice the underpass.
