We just need to figure out transit for all this, in order not to make this river corridor a traffic nightmare. Correction: an even worse traffic nightmare!

It's pretty crazy to think about you know. You have Lincoln Yards, plus this potentially, plus the Chicago Tribune site redevelopment. This entire area stretch of the river could look VERY different in 10-15 years from now. Many high rises and who knows what it could spur in the future.
Agree about the transit. At this point they'd really need to figure that out if they expect that many people to be living and working in and around Goose Island. If not, it'll become an all out nightmare.
