Weber Street has an underpass, and I personally think it's quite OK as a pedestrian. In the winter, I prefer it to the Margaret St bridge, too, given that it'll be sheltered from the winds.
That's not what he or I were saying at all. Viewfromthe42 referred to the "unavoidable pedestrian nightmare" that is an underpass. He wasn't referring to the retaining wall in the render, but that would be a pretty negative experience for people on foot. Nobody (except for you) said anything about "all rail needs to be underground" or anything like that.
