With you idea above, this would create a nice simple network of pedestrian prominent spots and places to hang out from MacNab all the way to Catharine St on the Gore, and NE to the new John/Rebecca Park and condo tower on Rebecca.

Ive thought something similar but would like to take it one step further and say that parking lot should be the new home of a single lovely shiny Commerce Place tower with frontage on the new Gore park expansion where the two towers sit now. Also the entrance to Jackson square could use an overhaul.
