The
city is intersected by two rivers and
numerous tributaries: the
Humber River in the west end and the
Don River east of downtown at
opposite ends of the
Toronto Harbour. The harbour was
naturally created by sediment build-up
from lake currents that created the
Toronto Islands. The many creeks and
rivers cutting from north toward the
lake created large tracts of
densely-forested
ravines, and provide ideal sites for
parks and recreational trails. However,
the ravines also interfere with the
city's
grid plan, and this results in major
thoroughfares such as
Finch Avenue,
Leslie Street,
Lawrence Avenue, and
St. Clair Avenue terminating on one
side of ravines and continuing on the
other side. Other thoroughfares such as
the
Bloor Street Viaduct are required to
span above the ravines. These deep
ravines prove useful for draining the
city's vast storm sewer system during
heavy rains but some sections,
particularly near the Don River are
prone to sudden, heavy floods. Storage
tanks at waste treatment facilities will
often receive too much river discharge
causing them to overflow, allowing
untreated sewage to escape into Lake
Ontario closing local beaches for
swimming.
