The best case scenario would probably be expropriating the south side of Eagle; you'd be taking off street-end properties instead of the entire other side, similar to the Weber widening. It would give streetfront access to Arlington Park at Eagle and Arlington. On the downside, two apartment buildings would have to come down.
I do hope they leave the churches alone, though the top of the hill is a really tough spot to work on so the Macedonian Orthodox church might have to come down anyway. It's pretty much guaranteed that the window and truck repair businesses at the bottom of the hill are doomed; the loft office complex on the river side of the street is designated. Would be a shame if AM Wood had to move, but if they're going to be building a grade separation there I can't see it being avoidable.
I hope the new apartment building was put up with light rail in mind; it would be ridiculous to have to tear it down before it's even ten years old.
