Rural roads don't have storm drains, they just have swales on the side to collect and funnel away water. Storm drain implies an actual pipe, which I'm saying we don't need.
Except that this would be built in Toronto. A ditch and swale will eventually lead to a stream - that will not happen in Toronto. Water run-off needs to lead somewhere (preferably a treatment plant), ergo you need to build storm drains.
