Toronto actually has a number of buried creeks, filled in and routed through storm and sewer drains as the city grew and the creeks became unsanitary quagmires.

Garrison Creek, which used to run through the heart of the city past Fort York to Lake Ontario, now runs through the sewer system. Taddle Creek used to flow through Queen's Park and the campus of the University of Toronto (there is a Taddle Creek Circle on the campus, but the creek is long gone.)

Interesting info, thanks.

we have an interesting counterpart to the story here in Salt Lake City...

City Creek runs down the hills north of the city, and by bald headed certainty, nobody but nobody is gonna mess with City Creek, cause the enviros will castrate anybody that so much as walks a dawg up the highway beside it... well, the creek runs above ground to North Temple street, then disappears into an underground culvert, never to be seen again until it drains into the Great Salt Lake... an inland saturated saline sea in which nothing but one species of crustacian and a lot of primary processed sewage lives.

amazing.

so we have underground rivers here in Utah, but I guess the dynamics are, um, somewhat different.
