Creekside Crossing is a communal centre in a heavily urbanized area of Mississauga. Due to extensive development in the area, several Low Impact Development (LID) practices were constructed on site. All combined, the LIDs were able to fulfill the requirement of the TTRCA's water balance objective of retaining runoff from a 10 mm rain event onsite (usually set at 5 mm, but due to the rehabilitation work was completed in a floodplain this objective was increased twofold. The LIDs, which include [[Bioretention]] areas, [[Soakaways]]/Infiltration galleries, [[Vegetated filter strips]] and [[Permeable pavement]], achieve the water balance objective through attenuation/infiltration and evapotranspiration.

This technical brief discusses TRCA's study that evaluated the effectiveness of meeting provincial and municipal stormwater management and flood control criteria on a commercial property by using a combination of decentralized LID practices as an alternative to sole reliance on centralized stormwater detention facilities. Practices incorporated into the design included [[Bioretention]], [[Permeable pavements]], [[Swales]] and [[Rainwater harvesting]] and re-use for landscape irrigation. Results from the study period found that, relative to a conventional stormwater approach without LID, runoff was reduced by 30-35% for the entire site, and by 58-62% in the catchment with a higher density of LID practices, peak flows were also reduced by 65 to 79%.
