Finch Avenue

On August 19, 2005 a freak rainstorm in Toronto caused the Black Creek water level to rise, which caused a section of Finch Avenue West near Sentinel Road (due south of York University between Keele and Jane Streets) to collapse, leaving a deep pit that prevented any pedestrian or vehicular traffic from passing through.

Toronto Railway Company Belt Line

The Bloor streetcar was extended from Jane Street to Woodbine Avenue, and remained in operation until it was replaced by the Bloor-Danforth Subway line in 1968.
