Highland Rez park same thing. Further west along the escarpment they did the same thing a few years back.

While other cities make new developments maintain and house their own storm-water, here we just dump it all into the lower city so residents below can enjoy the annual tradition of bailing out their basements and paying skyrocketing insurance. Oh and don't forget we all got to chip in to pay for the Red Hill and Linc so that trucks could be removed from downtown and our streets calmed. Lucky us, we got to pay AND keep the 5-lane truck freeways.

Real cities don't dump their infrastructure problems into the poorest neighbourhoods. They deal with the problem, AND enhance the beauty and streets of the city at the same time:
