Looks better than the previous version.
The at-grade plaza is much more user friendly and less likely to become unused and disconnected.
Not just trees on the roof, but EVERYWHERE!
Looks like a futuristic scene post-humans where everything is overgrown with plants.

One screwy part of the proposal are "loading bridges" direct from Broadway over the Grandview Cut
to the project for retail, office and commercial loading and parking.
I think that would negatively impact any future decking over of the Grandview Cut (ie for a plaza).
You can see them on the right in this plan.
The site is big enough they can fit a loading driveway elsewhere (i.e. The Rise only has one shared entrance for mixed use).
