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.

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.

This report by TRCA highlights the first pilot project by Toronto Green Streets completed as a partnership between City Planning and Toronto Water. The site was first identified as a priority location for improving traffic flow and pedestrian safety in 2014, and the City took the opportunity to retrofit it as a green infrastructure demonstration site. For the project, the right turn lane from Fairford Avenue eastbound to Coxwell Avenue was eliminated and the space was used to build a landscaped bioretention area and public seating. Read more about how this project was spurred by community request for pedestrian improvements to the area and showcased the aesthetic and instrumental value of the new parquetted designed with a bioretention cell on site, by clicking the button above.
