The utilities being in the way of the underpass are not the limitation, it is the potential cost of relocating them that is prohibitive. Similar to Jamincan's comment about the current ad-hoc approach to cycling infrastructure needing to have a network approach, this site needed to have the bigger picture in mind from the start on how and where it was going to connect to the rest of the city/region otherwise you get the situation we are in now. The underpass is probably the better solution for the users, but not likely what will be built because of the lack of consideration made in making other decisions.
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
