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.
