The key is to intensify the area. Make it so the Gardiner becomes just another building. Redesign key areas of the underside to provide attractive links to the waterfront.

This is true. The incorporation of the parkway into the infrastructure of the city as an almost organic process should eleviate the need to tear down and put it underground. Picture, if you will, a tree trunk growing around a wire fence. The tree grows around and incorporates the fencing within itself.
The scenario that Charlatan paints is similar, where the Gardiner becomes incorporated into the structure of the city like it is another building. Improvements can be applied to it as it ages.
