I think the best we can hope for is maybe an elevated street running above and parallel to the tracks, with towers on either side.

you know what, that's entirely correct, you can't realistically build a streetgrid on that site... even so I'd like to see an attempt at keeping some sort of semblance of a grid, pedestrian walkways, something to keep it connected to the south loop to the west....
