My basement has flooded with sewage twice in 5 years. Both times the city admitted it was their problem. Glad to see they finally decided to do something.
Very proactive by the City of Toronto to construct something like this, Ottawa will need a major anti-flood infrastructure project of its own, many Canadian cities will as the sea levels rise and flooding becomes more common in this country.
@Brad Okay but you yourself just said that the climate is changing, so we're going to have to adapt. Your comment doesn't make any sense, you first say that climate has changed for centuries, but then say not to believe it...confusing.
@@andrewbarnes7692 Bro, its politics. Politicians always do what pays politically. Arguing about a subway and never building it pays off. The city chokes in traffic and that's the whole point. This way they have something to preach and make themselves as heroes. If the subway gets build, the reason to bicker and whine goes away and so do their votes.
USA NEEDS TO CREATE A SIMILAR INFRASTRUCTURE TO CONTROL FLOODS IN TEXAS AND OTHER AREAS. USA NEEDS TO MAKE A TUNNEL GOING TO THE DRY DESERTS OF ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO AND BUILD WATER RESERVOIRS UNDERGROUND TO KEEP THE FLOOD WATERS WHICH LATER CAN BE TREATED FOR USE IN THE CITIES and NEARBY STATES LIKE CALIFORNIA that have water shortage .
HURRAY ! Toronto Infrastructure, for Toronto jobs, economy and environment. The city's sewage will stop going into the lake after a heavy rain. I heard about this project last year from a friend who had bought a nice boat. This will improve the health of our streams, the water front lands, the Island, Toronto beaches and the the lake water and wild life it's self. Brilliant !! Give the water ways a couple of years to renew them self's and grab your swim wear pick nick basket and do like our Grand parents could...spend the day enjoying the water. Jack Latin and Tommy Thompson are smiling down on this project. And as Thompson use to say..."Please walk on the grass"
This is great and scandalous at the same time when I moved to Toronto in 1995 my High School taught me about this problem I was told there was corruption in the building of Toronto and that they cheaped out I'm building a decent sewage and drain system the problem was that whenever there was too much stormwater it would go so high the level that it would start mixing with the sewage resulting in untreated sewage pouring right into our Lakes anyways that was 1995 ( not the building of the System just me being taught) nice to see the finally doing something about it
Its good to anticipate always the unprecedented, and make allocations for the yearly budget, it is going to provide waters as well to farmers, communities, villages, that needs improvement the way water system is distributed to consumers and making it lasts for a lifetime.
Leftist politicians are all about preaching the opposite of what they do. It's the old saying of do as I say, but dont do what I do. They drive huge SUVs but telling you to take the bus and the none existent rapid transit.
so yeah, we'll build the subways and they can all flood. This is an important project. Not saying that Transit isn't important, they are both equally important. Both issues have been ignored for years by multiple governments.
after saying all this though they have been planning and have it set in stone to expand the subway further in the gta so they actually are taking care of it but it's literally been slowly happening over the last decade.
That's a cool project and will certainly help... but at the same time, small solutions need to also be pursued; such as removing existing paving where possible, mandating permeable paving henceforth, building more parks (and less parking lots), etc. Nature manages stormwater very efficiently, if you would just not pave over it and change it!
I agree big concrete holes cost a lot of money, I have seen some natural revitalization cost less than that. Look up the channel ‘City Parks Alliance’ here on UA-cam, they have a video that explains the difference in costs for these types of problems. And they say it saved over 10 million building naturally. Also green space is beautiful and has many economic and health benefits.
They built 22km of underground tunnels so fast BUT we can't friggin build 1km of underground subway???? Afghanistan has better subway system than toronto
If you're trying to make a point by using hyperbole at least make it believable. Afghanistan (which is a country btw, so why compare it to a city) had a better subway system then Toronto. For sure, that's totally a believable and accurate comparison. If you're going to talk about something at least do a little research so you don't look uneducated.
Thats the problem, Sewage is getting into the lake and waterways. this is bad, these tanks will hold overflow during storms. until there is capacity at the sewage plant to treat the contaminated water.
the don river at rosedale valley road is the lowest, the way u all treat rain water is wrong if your homes are poorly constructed should not mean that water cannot seep into ground, the grade is what protects us all, water above ground is not the issue, we throw it onto street, asap ,
the shadow cast now on St, Clair, once the height is breached we will no longer have a sunny side of a street in winter, all that planning is beiong thrown away
$1B for digging and cement the walls?..smh lol the city should just buy used machines and hire their own employees and save 75% of the money. Comtractors must be laughing straight to the banks
Start enforcing municipal laws on individuals who rip up there whole property to put concrete down and make a parking pad the grass will take a lot of the water up 👍
@@baystreet6627 give your head a shake. You obviously have it in the sand if you haven't been paying attention to what happens in Toronto every time it rains. Add up that cost over the last 25 or so years and the cost that will keep happening every year until a solution is operational. This is far less expensive then countless cleanups and lost productivity.
All that money for nothing, while beavers have been building and changing water ways. Or fluidity of rivers. But I geuss ingeneers need money and people need to waste money out the window. XD well at least the rich get rich.
this is great toronto is adapting from japan’s advanced drain system.

0:35 - It's MAN MADE?! What? A meteorite didn't create a perfect circle, lined with concrete, metres from an undamaged bridge?!?!

THIS..... THIS IS SPARTA!!!!
*kicks Justin Trudeau*
We can build 22 km of giant tunnels for this and we can't even get the shovels down for a subway.
They dont want to build subways.
@@baystreet6627 Of course they dont. How will they collect gas taxes??
Why does it have to be one or the other. This is needed and so is the subway.

Or just let someone say... this is madness! Madness??? THIS IS
i thought they were starting to build in ground condos
Might soon have to
This video is 4 years old, did they get the money to finish it? WE need it now.

lol the lake water has been disgusting for decades... they can never fix it
Except for the cost.
Wont be done until our grand children have grand children. Stop being so stoked.
it keeps it out of the lake by redirecting it further into the lake directly so all the yuppies from midtown can't see it.
no one will notice....

We used to drink in these tunnels under College St like 7 years ago.
Pretty impressive holes!
+1
This is not that kind of hole I need.
Put some hair around it.
very good for the city and our future.. bravo.

That's pretty cool, good job!
It will be probably done by 2055 😂😂🤦♂️
😂😂😂
Traffic and congestion! No money for more subways being built! We need straighten our priorities here! ⭐️

@@JJN603 why should that be everyones problem? They own the house.
Well living at the highest point in Toronto may have its perks. Never had to deal with no overflow of sewage and storm water
Yeah that is superior ...

Thought this was suppose to prevent the flooding 😂
What about the Queens Quay and Lakeshore flooding?
Sounds like a death trap, imagine it being a suction whirlpool of death.
Great project
1:25 Ahha, so it IS a CSO system like in Portland, Oregon!
Nice.
This is the best news in decades , Toronto could actually sink and be gone forever....!
300 Sparta?
Woah is this what working on infrastructure looks like? I live in America so I've never actually seen infrastructure work before!
i guess this didn't work for yesterday's rain (07-16-2024).
What could they be preparing for???
rain
Why is there no water when the hole is 50m deep? Usually, ground water is only a few meters below the surface.
Isn't there a way to generate electricity from all that water flowing?
Mark from YTV.. use to watch you as a kid.
What if someone get washed away where do they think they will end up
"THIS IS SPART... OH WAIT ITS TORONTO"
1 billion seems less for a project of this scale.
so maybe can helps to be done Green Canada again 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Doug Ford 🔥
They should make it a heat tunnel to evaporate the water😉.
yeah pollute the air instead of the water great idea
They built 22km of underground tunnels so fast BUT we can't friggin build 1km of underground subway???? Afghanistan has better subway system than toronto

@@kutter_ttl6786 buahhaha, is this your first day on the internet??? You are in for a wild ride....
Whoa impressive.
Japans storm drain is 30 meters wide and 70 meters deep
Toronto is on a slope that leads into the lake. All water that comes in drains into the lake. Why would we need this?
Thats the problem, Sewage is getting into the lake and waterways. this is bad, these tanks will hold overflow during storms. until there is capacity at the sewage plant to treat the contaminated water.
seriously?
Because a contractor needs a contract!
Water ALWAYS TAKES BACK ITS LAND!!!!! All the dumped up rivers will come back to haunt u
Russian Satellite : Putin ..really they made a Nuke silo? Wow About time they grew balls
It may cost tons of $. But I still think it's better than building a WALL.
Cool we can fish in to.
Didn't work
Sounds right about time

Ya, because why fix your plumbing when you could dig a big fn hole in the yard.
I heard a gold rush may be around the corner.
They should have got the Chinese to build it. Would have been faster and cheaper.
@Yams Ondeck I would have agreed with you if it was year 2005. Times have changed.
Smart
Nice lake jeeeez
Hope the water gets cleaned up. Terrible looking with dead fish.
We the north
Ever hear of a money pit?
Do you mean to tell me Canada doesn't have a proper sewer system? That's disgusting.
om exactly soha
$1B for digging and cement the walls?..smh lol the city should just buy used machines and hire their own employees and save 75% of the money. Comtractors must be laughing straight to the banks
its all corrupt pos from the mayor to the construction company to all politicians,
Glad to see our taxmoney being used useful things once in a while.
Nice, keep the rich people’s wine cellars dry.
Start enforcing municipal laws on individuals who rip up there whole property to put concrete down and make a parking pad the grass will take a lot of the water up 👍
I guess Ford supports this? Don’t see any comments to the contrary .
Oh, so that’s what they are building!!!???
This cave is not of natural formation. Someone built this, so it must lead somewhere.
inspired by Kim k?
It's just an autobot hideout
oh thats what that is
They making like 100 an hour🤦🏿♂️
I'm glad they're spending money on this type of project instead of some LGBTABCD hippie project.
how do you get down there?
Cranes, you see them in the video
jump
and I cant get hired? TF?
Its going to be "man made" in the future.
The new tursure field trips kids lol 12 doller too see it needs a ride
What?
Preparing for global warming
are the environmental results made public, since its funded by public taxes
Yeah, it's a hole. Water goes in the hole to prevent flooding. Results made public
Totally ridiculous amount money being spent. They have no respect for taxpayers.
@@baystreet6627 Yeah why waste the money, let the DVP drown underwater every time it rains more than just a drizzles
@@baystreet6627 Ummm.... This will prevent pollution from entering the lake and peoples basements. that seems like a good use of money.

But it’s not even operational yet
It's not done yet..... The first part won't be done till 2024.

Great news! More debt for Ontario :) way to go Canada
