I think most of us would accept a higher, fair price in order for the tunnel inserts to remain.
I've even thought you should go one step further and make the inserts able to be a separate standalone building if it's removed. For instance, the York Hotel insert can, with some kitbashing, be a separate standalone entrance to an underground parking garage. If it's sandwiched between two other buildings, all you'd have to do is to add a roof and maybe put a billboard on the roof. It might not be what you at Menards had intended, but it's a great way to get a second building out of it!
