I honestly wish they'd do something like the Sky's the Limit piece in the B/C walkway at ORD instead of an ad, but given the ramp is "temporary" (hopefully more temporary than C/D itself!) I don't see them putting much effort into something like that.
I think the ramp likely will continue to exist as long as C does -- but agree I'm head-down, 110% speed "airport plus" mode from the time I get off the train until I reach the solitude of the C escalators to avoid both meandering tourists and the great rates for you and me.
