Buuuut...I've just come up with another brilliant solution. Think of this pretty much all at grade, other than an elevated line over, or tunnel under CPKR. Due to the elevated portion not really affecting buildings like further east, it should help. Gets transit to the beltline, too. This really solves every issue, and is so simple.


Spoiler!
The challenge there is that it doesn't really get to the core of the core - which I'd peg at about 1st St SW and 6th Ave, give or take (a decade or two ago it was probably further west).

The hope is to get enough DT workers close enough to where they won't transfer at all...but of course getting to that heart becomes more difficult as you're going through the most valuable real estate.


Similar idea, but in the other direction (also making things shorter and cheaper):

Spoiler!
