This report by TRCA found several stormwater management benefits by incorporating several LID principles [[Bioretention]], [[Infiltration trenches]]/[[Infiltration chambers]], and [[Enhanced grass swales]] into sustainable functional design in an underutilized space, now named the 'Bentway' under Toronto's Gardiner Expressway. This allowed for dual functioning of a public recreational area and suitable stormwater management.

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, reductionm in runoff volume to storm sewers, etc.) to Cooksville Creek.
