This report by TRCA discusess 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 paver boulevards, bioretention and infiltration trenches/galleries underlain beneath the bioretention features to manage stormwater at the source. To learn more about this "Green Street" read the project brief by clicking the button above.

This report by CVC provides a thorough overview of the monitoring work done at the Imax corporate Headquarters, located in Mississauga, ON. The parking lot was expanded and retrofitted with a combination of traditional asphalt and permeable pavement. The asphalt runoff drains to one of three vegetated bioretention units on site. The The parking lot runoff is collected, absorbed and filtered by these LID practices before entering a wetland adjacent to the parking lot. Read more about these features performance over this multi-year study by clicking the button above.

The Sustainable Sidewalk project was initiated as a solution to address the disturbance of street tree roots associated with the removal of sidewalks for utility cuts. A working group with participants from various City of Toronto Divisions was formed and the group decided to use soil cells for a stormwater tree trench system (bioretention) and in the fall of 2008 constructed The 'Queensway Sustainable Sidewalk Pilot Project'. Monitoring results from the study found that the soils were able to reduce TSS (>80%) and heavy metal concentrations in the road run off that entered the system. Also the outlet flow meter did not show any flow release after a rainfall of 3 mm that was preceded by a period of no rain, showcasing the systems ability to mitigate excess stormwater runoff in the heavily urbanized location.
