Nothing about it is East Village, it was just the key piece of line drawing that the CRL needed to make the project viable, nobody ever pretended otherwise. The only reason they got to include it was because it wasn't constructed at the time so it wouldn't affect the current property tax levels of the city. There is quite a bit of that CRL that isn't in the East Village.
Now imagine the s CRL without The Bow and with the majority of land in the East Village being taken up by something else that won't contribute into the CRL. That is what the Flames are proposing as a good deal that 'will only affect those in the vicinity'.
