I thought about that. You may be right. I was unsure where exactly the RI tracks should start their descent according to the current plans. I figure that wherever you put the ballpark, the RI line grade separation will have to be part of the project and run under the ballpark, given that I don't think the ballpark will be able to be built except over the RI line.
I figure why not start the below-grade rail separation a bit further north than planned (perhaps even starting at the Roosevelt Collection) so it can clear under the ballpark if it was situated on the north end.
