I think there's a better than even chance that The Republic's delay and Project Connect's progress are related. Don't see why the post office block wouldn't also be included. All the sudden a crap ton of new subterranean and surface infrastructure has to go through there in the next 5-10 years -- it's for sure going to impact whatever development plans there are for those blocks.
My guess is we'll start to hear more about the Republic again as the downtown tunnel/Republic Park station start to get fleshed out. We'll probably see a process similar to what the Convention Center and Cap Metro are working through in re: the Trinity station.
