I'm not sure if this is the best thread, but I was walking along the Kolb Creek Greenway and noticed that this structure for the first time where the trail meets Rothsay Ave.
Now, the creek continue through the culvert on the left between Rothsay and Victoria and eventually empties into the Grand River just south of the Forwell Quarry. The structure on the right seems like some sort of overflow for the creek, but does anyone know where it goes? I've heard of overflows for the sewers going into a river/creek, but it seems unusual that there would be an overflow for a creek into a sewer, especially when the creek below that point seems to higher banks and lots of capacity to handle heavy runoff.
