Part 8/10:
Toronto’s subterranean realm extends into vital infrastructure as well. The city’s extensive subway system, initiated in the mid-20th century, connects commuters to essential routes both rapidly and efficiently. However, the underground pathways also contain remnants of past urban life, including abandoned stations like Lower Bay, which served as filming locations for various productions.
The sewer systems, with channels carrying stormwater and wastewater, lie at depths of up to 50 meters. These tunnels house expansive reservoirs beneath the city, intricately designed to manage flooding and ensure the safety of Toronto’s streets.
