Right? That would serve so many transportation interests if tied into a broader I-35 connection framework via East Avenue. It would alleviate Cesar Chavez at Rainey. It would alleviate traffic on Riverside. It would provide more access east/west generally. It would make getting into and out of Rainey significantly easier. There are so many plusses here.

I'd totally have it be two lanes in each direction with some signature arch design with architectural flair with lighting at night and a large pedestrian component and have it directly connected thru to interstate 35 as two lanes in each direction with some ingenious intersection configuration at the interstate itself to account for the elevation of the preexisting configuration (such as a roundabout from northbound I-35 to westbound East Avenue underneath the highway).
