Kevin, you hit on the irony of it all!
As you say, we are a few generations removed from anyone who can recall what it was like before the CBX.
The push came from the current residents who feel impeded & isolated by the CBX. They never knew anything different as far as what it was like before the CBX was constructed! They put pressure on community leaders that in turn got state (city?) funding to do exploratory studies & designs on "linking" the divide. One design proposal consists of elevated park spaces spread out over a few areas linking the divide, with walkways & bike lanes. No roadways going across these spans, but on/off ramps for autos to access parking areas to these parks spanning the divide!
