Yes but an airside connection would still be nice. No need for ATS, a tunnel from the tip L to the tip of M would only be 1000 feet long (300 steps).

Compare, for example, the tunnel from B to C is 800 feet.

I wonder what the total budget of the TTB (buses, labor, constructing accessible entrances) and the various airline-operated buses that predated it were compared to the one-time cost of the tunnel construction.
