need help from the river police

I think what he means is that the city is considered a crossroads for trade. the picture shows the river bends coming close to each other but not touching.

It looks like the question is more along the lines of wether it's possible for two separate rivers to come close enough without merging that a city could be built so it touched the banks of each one.

Sounds geologically unlikely, but I've seen some pretty strange things on google earth

Is it possible if the rivers do not touch, as Coyotemax suggests its possible, but as Toff suggests, unless you constantly engineer otherwise, that geologic situation is temporary at best. A crossroads location wouldn't last more than a century.

Interesting idea, perhaps you could have the rivers further apart and nearly connected via a canal, but naturally rivers could not do this for very long.
