It's supposed to have a pedestrian access to the new terminal, but the positioning of the TPSS has made that extremely difficult to achieve. At best, there will be pedestrian access crammed between an ugly TPSS and a loading dock for the Google building, hardly an safe and inviting view, at worst, there just won't be pedestrian access.
The space is reasonably wide for pedestrian-only access, far wider than a pair of broad downtown sidewalks, so not really "crammed" in my view. If the alignment prevents the construction of the underpass, though, then I'll need to retract my comments.
Yes, the TPSS doesn't look nice at the moment, as I said. Hopefully they are planning to do something about that. If they won't do anything, I'll be disappointed.
It wouldn't be a problem for *just* pedestrians, but it isn't *just* pedestrians, there also needs to be space for trucks to access the loading dock at the Google building. And that space cannot be shared with the pedestrian pass because it is at a different level. All of a sudden is is very cramped.
