This report by TRCA discusses the recent 'Markham Municipal Green Road Pilot Project' that was established between 2015 - 2018 and which is located on Vanni Avenue, south east of the intersection of 14th Avenue and Middlefield Rd. in a a mixed use residential and commercial property area. The specially designed road includes multiple low impact development (LID) technologies, including [[Permeable pavement]] boulevards, [[Bioretention]] and [[Infiltration trenches]]/galleries underlain beneath the bioretention features to manage stormwater at the source.

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.
