Are you basing this off Google maps or actual experience?
The south side is never busy because it doesn't have plenty of space. Two people going in opposite directions on that sidewalk cannot pass each other without brushing against the building or streets signs that are in the middle of the sidewalk. I walked down that sidewalk with my wife and a stroller three weeks ago. Every time we encountered a pedestrian headed in the opposite direction, my wife and I had to go single-file and the other pedestrian had to stop and turn sideways to let us by.
Again, I challenge you to try to navigate that area with a stroller or suitcase or wheelchair.
We are getting off-topic so I will bring it back to the actual building. Since everyone here is so passionate about the beautiful Sinclair Centre facades, I don't think it is a hot take that removing an ugly concrete ramp that blocks part of the Federal Building and that makes the main entrance of the buildings for Waterfront commuters a dark and dingy place would make the area more attractive.
