It exists because it is a design from the early 1970's over the bones of a mid-1950's terminal in a 93 year old airport.
The only solution is a brand new terminal. I can't imagine any other interim solution to the escalators and the two elevators due to space constraints.
And it could be done. Build a new and larger terminal on the footprint of the existing parking garage plus the existing terminal. Build a new garage in the place where they tore down the old long-term garage. The bonus: moving the terminal closer to route 237 would help in being able to connect it to dormant D concourse. If nothing else, use of concourse D would help the logistics of rebuilding concourses A, B, and C (maybe into one continuous concourse).
