Nothing will pass beneath the runways. UP will be pressed as close to the CP alignment as possible. Irving Park will go underneath them both just east of York, and then follow right on the north side of the tracks. There were several options for depressing the York/Irving Park intersection (mostly having to do with the degree of access to businesses) but I'm not sure which one IDOT chose.
To answer your second question: I spend a ton of time in studio (not much sleep) and I need something to read during breaks. RTandS is in my blog reader so I check it for Chicago stories occasionally. Don't worry, I'm still enjoying la dolce vita... when time and money permit.
