Since the developer is already looking to cover the tracks, maybe the city can ask them, as part of the same air-rights-for-density deal, to build and maintain a public pedestrian/cycling connection over the tracks, thus forming an axis linking Lebreton directly with Wellington West (West Side Action mentions that there are already proposals for such a link).

Not sure I understand the Yonge and Eglinton comparison, except insofar as it is the site of a future rapid transit transfer point. Doesn't really fit in terms of either historical/current land uses or the site's context in relation to the rest of the city fabric. Reminds me more of the West Donlands or maybe Liberty Village.
