TEK Tower (30 Francis) | 45 fl | U/C

I guess this gives us four years to put together another "Gaukel Street"-type proposal. Even just closing the street between King and Halls Lane and expanding the Francis Green Park into the space would make a world of a difference.

Indeed, if it can be closed for 4 years then clearly it isn’t that important to the road network. And looking at it, it’s similar to Gaukel in that it only runs a few blocks (3 rather than the 2 for Gaukel; I’m ignoring the separate dead-end block off Water St.), other nearby streets can take the traffic, and there are few to no vehicle accesses on the street that would need to be maintained.
