^ and if they put sports fields above the tracks, then they can replace the existing ones to the east with (heavier) trees. But frankly Grant Park already has too many ball fields and not enough more scenic gardens.

And for god's sake, narrow Columbus Drive to at most 2 lanes in each direction!! That's the easiest and most important improvement that could be made to Grant Park. Because frankly, Grant Park is not an impressive urban park at the moment. It's mostly concrete.
