Wait, I'm confused, what? Daylighting what? Are you guys talking about the China Creek easement? There's no way to actually connect it to Trout Lake, or anything for that matter, and I don't know any realistic canal proposals into the Flats.

Source?
The original route to VCC-Clark on Broadway would have been nice. Emily Carr would have to be located elsewhere (maybe on the VCC parking lot backlot, or next to the space for the Expo Line- Clark Station. )
It would have been more interconnected and have more development potential for mid-rise offices, overall than what we got. (though maybe slower)
