Does anyone know if the FCE proposal resolves the old infrastructure issues. From a 2005 PD article ("Tower City figures don't match") posted here:

"In a recently completed comparison of the two sites, however, the city's planning commission cites upgrades that may be needed to maintain traffic flow around a riverfront center. For example:
"Reconstructing the closed Eagle Avenue viaduct for truck and car traffic could cost $11.5 million. (Forest City estimates the cost at $7.5 million.)
"Widening and reconstructing Canal Road could cost $10.1 million. (Forest City estimates $1.8 million.)
"Improving interstate access to the West Third Street and Canal Road area could cost $14 million. (Forest City's estimates did not include this element.)
"Accommodating additional traffic may require purchasing property on the west side of Ontario Street between Carnegie Avenue and Huron Road. (Cost estimates not available.) "
