Here's a great project coming out of Paris: integrating Nord and Est! Anticipated cost converted to dollars is $57.8 million--I wonder how that compares to American construction costs?https://www.railwaygazette.com/news/single-view/view/EUR50m-plan-to-link-paris-stations-as-an-integrated-hub.html …

Currently, the area outlined in green appears to be under construction--and as it's on Rue de Dunkerque, which fronts Nord, I suspect it's connected to the integration project. But why stop there? Add a concourse on the outer end (in red), maybe a couple more as extra entrances!pic.twitter.com/2alh6z3u1o

Compare to the stub-end Hankyu terminal in Osaka at Umeda Station...outlined here in red, with the terminal end at the tall building, but the station is accessible from *all four sides,* not just from the terminal end.pic.twitter.com/pWmzuV8kfm

Actually, there's already a through service: Gare du Nord is linked to Gare de Lyon via RER D, and to Massy via RER B, and Gare de l'Est is linked to Gare Saint-Lazare via RER E.

I know RER gives thru service, I mean that the older terminal buildings have a stub-end layout

yes. through trains are routed on a more external route via Charles-de-Gaulle airport, Marne-la-Vallée and Massy. Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est are only for trains who start or end in Paris.
