Finch Flood - August
19, 2005
The area where Black Creek flows
under Finch Avenue West was washed out during the heavy rainstorm
of August 19, 2005. The floods destroyed a 2-lane main road. It will
take 3-4 months to fix. The crater that is Finch Avenue will cost
approximately 5 million dollars to repair. The City of Toronto has
said that insurance would pay most of the cost. During the repair
time, the TTC buses (36
Finch) will be diverted, going through Grandravine Dr. The walkway has
been recently restored allowing for pedestrians to walk along Finch
Avenue again.
