I recognize that 30 years or so ago there was a plan to for a future tunnel, however, much has changed since then. People are talking as if there are already trains there, but there are not, and it will be many, many decades before it happens if ever. The move to four car trains will drastically change the landscape, as will the next phase of transit, which will be more to do with cross-town mechanisms as opposed to clogging the DT further as a transfer point. City design has also taken a leap, and there is now more than ever a move to keep thinks on the surface (the low height train car trend continues). Lastly, core samples from years subsequent to the original plan and the massive flooding potentials of the inner city, make the original thinking somewhat obsolete and requiring vigorous review.
