Westview Greenbelt
Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Built to channel what was once a tributary to Black Creek, the Westview Greenbelt serves as the storm drainage system for the area south of Lawrence, north of Eglinton, and from Black Creek eastward to the Allen Expressway. While the name of the tributary has since been forgotten, the Westview Greenbelt is distinct enough that it won't be.

 
Stairway to Paradise
Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

Just upstream on the Chedoke Creek in Hamilton of the Wall of Anguish, Stairway to Paradise is vastly different than most drains. As in, it features two distinct stairways in which water cascades over in small waterfalls, designed to help minimize the impact the water would have as it descends down the escarpment.

 
Wall of Anguish
Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

The creek that feeds this drain should be a familiar site to anyone who has driven along Highway 403 in Hamilton... Chedoke Creek runs parallel to the highway right up until Aberdeen Ave, just as the 403 begins it's ascent up the escarpment. Acting primarily as a culvert to carry the creek under Main and King Streets, the double box tunnel (reminiscent of a subway tunnel) is uninteresting. What is interesting, however, is the branch leading off the box tunnels halfway through.
