Is this factually correct, or a mistake. The Elbow flows no where near downtown, so I would have to think if this article is taken literally, that this would help mitigate the Bow, therefore helping Bowness, Sunnyside, etc?

If so how? Anyone know?

If not, why the heck are they spending this amount on something that won't help the folks on the Bow?

Just really curious as I have never seen an actual detailed explanation anywhere to date.
The flooding of East Beltline, and the East Village (including City Hall) - both "downtown" was from the Elbow.
