This report by CVC highlights the benefits of a multi-LID retrofit on a mixed-use street with residential homes and an education centre on Elm Drive in Mississauga. The retrofit included, a [[Permeable pavement]] sidewalk and parking layby along with six [[Bioretention]] cells connected with an [[Underdrain]]. The site now provides stormwater treatment by improving the quality of stormwater discharged (thermal mitigation, reduction in runoff volume to storm sewers, etc.) to Cooksville Creek.

This study by TRCA evaluates the capacity of two surface cleaning techniques applied before traditional vacuum sweeping to improve the effectiveness of [[Permeable pavement]] maintenance. The research, conducted in collaboration with University of Toronto researchers, builds on previous studies at the Kortright Centre's permeable pavements research facility on the effectiveness of conventional vacuum sweeping of permeable pavements. The post maintenance surface infiltration rates were much lower for some types of permeable pavers when compared to their initial capacity shortly after installation, others remained clogged or did not show any change following maintenance. To see which types of permeable pavement performed better after maintenance click the button above.
