Interstate 71 runs underneath the park, with an ventilation facility underground, venting out of an oversize straw smokestack with a diner cup looking facade surrounding it to vent car fumes up to a safe height in a work of street art, located in the existing Ginny Reichard Park.

Box, which replaces Spaghetti Junction. Box is a building in which all of the above ground interstate ramps are fully contained, it may also house an intercity bus depot. It connects to the louie park system, and facilitates movements to all three interstates directions.
