RPTC and One Campus Martius is not 10 blocks. Walking down Michigan...Washington, Shelby, Griswold, Woodward, then bam you're there. Yes, city hall is another 5 blocks south but Professor, this just goes to show how lazy we've become.
Ogilvie Transportation Center is on the other side of the Chicago River and I've been down there on a weekday morning seeing the hordes of people walking from Ogilvie across the river to their Loop office building. Yes, some catch a bus if it's further but not all do.
Not sure how you can say RPTC is not downtown when it clearly is. Hey, if we had built a subway, Campus Martius would've been one big inter-modal subway station! And perhaps it would behoove future streetcar planners to end the Jefferson line at RPTC.
