Author's note: When I use the term `official', I am actually referring to the `original' Seawall.
Since its official opening in `71 (Sept. 26), both ends of the `original' Seawall have been extended. No one seems to know, exactly, where the original ends were.
When I say `Unofficial' I am referring to these latter day extensions.
In February of `03, when I was writing this story, I was told by the Park Board that, in years to come, all of what I call `unofficial', and what I call `unofficial, unofficial' will become official.
In fact, plans are in the works to extend (my) South Eastern unofficial further East, as far as Spanish Banks.
Unofficially, the Seawall extends East from the Sea Plane Terminal, or at least where it was temporarily located in February of `03, where Canada Place joins Waterfront Rd., to the division between Devonian Harbour Park and Stanley Park . Approximately in line with Chilco Street.
This section of Seawall, finished but for the Eastern end, is a ten year project by the real estate division of the C. P. R.
Starting at; Canada Place, in the East, it follows the shore of Coal Harbour, to Devonian Harbour Park, in the West.
Unlike other sections of the seawall, that have naturally flowing curves, this section has many abrupt turns and right angle corners.
The Seaplane base, shared by Harbour Air and, Baxter Aviation, will be moved further West, in years to come, as the land that they now use for the parking of vehicles will become a new convention center.
