I think a tunnel could improve things a whole lot, just looking at the options. The money is obviously the sticking point (and I am not wanting a political pissing match).  But at face value, with a tunnel, you can put a park or green space with shops above it (something downtown really lacks). Think of it as a blank canvas with so much potential. To think a grid would dramatically improve blighted and neglected areas, is a bit pie-in-the-sky, and I don't really  buy it (unless part of the plan is to gentrify those areas.)  Quick question for those in the know: is the city grid supposed to be like the main line in the Philly suburbs, or route 206 near Princeton? I've taken both those and lemme tell you, it's a major pain in the ass, especially during high traffic times.  Do the tunnel, get a nice greenway above it, add in some shops, and call it a day. It connects the city, adds a usable park that is lacking in downtown, doesn't effect commutes and to me seems logical just from an option stand point. Once we come to agreement on which option is the best, then we can worry about the funding...
