That's (sort of) what they're proposing. The trapezoid between 59th/60th/Stony Island/IC tracks could become a low-slung parking garage buried inside a landform. The top of it would be park space at the level of the tracks, with a pedestrian bridge over Stony to the library. This way anybody coming from Metra at 59th St would share the same exact access as people driving and parking.
