Bye-Bye Hill Climb

Ongoing construction of Pacific Plaza near 12th/13th St. and Pacific Avenue has meant the 12th Street hill climb connecting Pac Ave to Commerce has been alternately opened and closed. Today I noticed the hill climb is once again closed, and the wrecking crew has arrived . . .

I understand there used to be an escalator in that big empty maw on the right. One design plan has the hill climb looking like this . . .
