<div dir="ltr">MapQuest Open seems to have a good compromise in this case--the tunnel is rendered above the buildings, but is partly transparent (to allow the user to see other features) and has more prominent dashed casing (to indicate it is below-ground).<br>

</div>Thank you for your feedback. It seems none of the solutions is really<br>
ideal. I think the old rendering was not perfect either. Here you can<br>
compare them: <a href="http://bl.ocks.org/tyrasd/raw/6164696/#16.00/43.2856/5.3814" target="_blank">http://bl.ocks.org/tyrasd/raw/6164696/#16.00/43.2856/5.3814</a><br>
Rendering order is still work in progress, so we might decide to move<br>
things around again later. Suggestions are welcome.<br>
