If there were another east/west connection with a real signature bridge here and meaningful connective integration with an expanded East Avenue between there and to (and with) I-35? OMG that'd be amazing. It'll never happen, though.
I agree with everything here - including (sadly) the part that it'll never happen. At least not any time soon. I'm sure MACC would have a field day with that, by the way, haha...boxed in by two bridges (in their eyes). Of course, one of the two, to appease them, could be designed with the Hispanic culture in mind? I think that'd be kinda cool, actually.

That said, I do love the idea of establishing a significant grid there, and if that's done further connectivity (if anything else, a wide bike/pedestrian bridge) would do wonders. I think there would need to be another vehicular bridge, though...at least one.
