Daylighting of Padden Creek




On May 18, 2011 Matthew Bautista holds his daughter, Evangelina, as she plays in the water near the mouth of the Padden Creek tunnel.  Jade (left) and Orion Bautista observe.  The Padden Creek tunnel starts on 22nd Street and ends near Fairhaven Park where the Bautista family enjoyed an afternoon walk.  The city has been working on a design plan to daylight the creek.  In January 2011 it finally received money for the project and it plans to daylight the creek in 2013.
