    So a parcel of land named after a railroad promoter and bordering on a rail line is going to be developed without a thought or clue about the opportunities and benefits of rail access.

    The entire portion west of the freeway could host industry that imports money by exporting goods made only on sites with rail access (a.k.a. competitive advantage).

    “…the city is conceptually exploring options to extend W. Mt. Vernon Ave. west…”
    Promote roads but stymie railroads? Sorry, nobody told me.

    The entire area under the freeway is doomed to destruction when the freeway needs replacing, but a lot of good use could be had between now and then.
