I was only half joking about the snow. It is plentiful right now (the City could provide tons of it from clearing operations) and packs densely when blown into a pile. It would also be easy to hoe out to lower the piles height to match the parking levels. Gravel or sand could also be used. Anyway, if a scissor-lift is strong enough, it could be used to provide the ‘bridge’.

What they need is to get a drivable platform diagonally across the gap, from level 6 (where the stairs bottom in Sue’s picture) to Level 5 (where the red truck is). This would allow vehicles to drive down to level 4 (middle level on the right). Then the scissor-lift (or snow/gravel pile) is lowered to provide a diagonal bridge from level 4 to level 3 (where the smashed white car is. All vehicle could then drive down to level 2, which exits into the demolished area (once the scissor-lift or pile is removed).

Given the rest of the structure is probably too compromised now, my personal expectation is that they will demolish the entire structure, cars and all. They might let people get their personal effects though.
