Maybe it'll happen in the future, but I'd honestly rather them focus on capping the vine street expressway at least around Logan circle.
I wonder if during this multi year planning process if there are any provisions for expanding the cap, probably to the south, in the future. A little bit of planning could go a long way in the future.

If anyone went to the public meeting was much if anything said as how this plan came to be vs the first 'plan' that was put out to the public maybe 18 months ago? Also, I hope theres plans for doing something to enliven the part of Delaware Ave which will become a short tunnel. The street has enough problems already, so it doesn't need any more.
