I'm curious to know what the proposal's solution is to navigating 5 underground subway lines, Atlantic Terminal and at least one aqueduct. Not trying to be cynical and say it's impossible but it sounds like a hell of a feat.

I can't find the detailed study (if it was done or just a prelim conceptual review) but it looks like they proposed 350-500 feet tunnel depth which maybe would clear the subway tunnels. I imagine they couldn't ignore these conflicts so maybe that was what led to this depth.

That's 35 - 50 floors below the ground, and you'd also need to add ventilation shafts, and emergency exits.

Article mentions emergency egress shafts, yes, says they would need 4k sq ft for it.
