It would take less than 5 seconds for people to nickname it the SEx Chute, not unlike shortening the South Lake Union Trolley to SLUT. I humbly propose naming it the Vulcan Portal. Such would honor Paul Allen's corporate stake as the major private landholder & sports team owner at both ends of the project, plus pander to Allen's fanboy devotion to science fiction names. The City Council has already guaranteed that any viaduct replacement will include Aurora Avenue being lowered and covered to create more driving links and land investment returns for Vulcan's SLU neighborhood takover developments all the way to its Experience Music/Sci-Fi Project at Seattle Center. Go Seahawks owner! Please, let’s not even joke about calling it the Seahawk Express Chute.

It's visionary. To reclaim that area from a two story high elevated freeway is just nothing but euphoria inducing to me. yea Seattle! I’m thrilled. It’s visionary.

Let's see, at $1000 a carat, and 2,200 carats in a pound, we'd need to only find around 900 pounds of gem-quality diamonds to pay for the shortfall!
