I wouldn't mind seeing it closed especially as it effectively runs through a park. I have the same thoughts on Barton Springs through Zilker but I don't think that is possible due to the only possible South of the river connectivity to Mopac.

The city should build a cool pedestrian bridge over the road for safer connectivity between the great lawn and the playground/Barton Springs pool area. I'm suprised the idea hasn't come up before.
