Project 200 was a proposed waterfront redevelopment program during 1968, in Vancouver. It earned its name from the 200 million dollar investment needed for the project, and is best known for its "Waterfront Freeway". Overview The 300 million dollar redevelopment project was introduced to the Vancouver city council on June 28, 1966, by major powerful retail companies including, Grosvenor-Laing Limited, Marathon Realty Company, Woodwards, and Simpson Sears. In fact, some claim the only reason Woodward's is still here today is because of this investment. On December 5, 1968, the project was approved by City Council, with a 4.4 acre square plot of land to be rezoned, and 2 office towers to be built, with supporting retail, and commercial areas, with a main square, known as Canada Square, are all to be laid over the CP tracks behind Waterfront station. At the same time, the federal government assigned Swan-Wooster Engineering, today known as Sandwell Engineering (the same group that built the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge and more), to study a third inlet crossing at Brockton point, with consideration of future rapid transit. After many designs of the freeway, and crossing, city council choose to build Waterfront Freeway, which would connect to the Brockton Point Tunnel and to the brand new 401 highway (Highway 1) to the east. In 1967, more office towers were proposed, including a federal government building, and one of the buildings towering over 210 metres, higher than any other building in Vancouver today, mostly due to a view cone bylaw, set by the City of Vancouver. The only building built was Granville Square located on 200 Granville Street, leased to Canadian Pacific, and now owned by the Vancouver Sun. Freeway A waterfront freeway was to be laid over the today's CP tracks and was to run elevated, before curving north across the Burrard Inlet. Ramps would have led straight into parking garages, which would have had 7000 parking spots. The freeway would have connected to the southbound eight-lane Chinatown freeway over Carrall Street before meeting with the 4-level stack Georgia Interchange connecting the Georgia Viaduct to the west, the also proposed east–west freeway to the east, and north–south freeway over Main Street to the south. The interchange also included the "Columbia Connector". The Georgia Viaduct would also be split to include the "Taylor Expressway", an elevated freeway running westbound on the north shore of False Creek. All of this
