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.

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.

This report by TRCA highlights the use of the [[ Treatment train tool|Treatment Train Approach]] at Bill Crothers Secondary built back in 2008. The site used to a golf course and was located partially i nthe Rouge Watershed's floodplain. During the planning process for the school several low impact developments were identified to be used on site that included, [[Bioretention]] areas, [[Enhanced swales]], Constructed [[Wetlands]] and [[Rainwater harvesting]].

This report by CVC highlights how the CA (per its mandate) and its member municipalities approached the construction of an addition to the CVC head office as an opportunity to showcase a green building that effectively manages water resources on the site in keeping with the Credit River Water Management Strategy. The report goes over how CVC created the new construction as a demonstration site that showcased LID practices within a typical commercial office setting. It also allowed the CA the opportunity to ‘learn by doing’ and closely monitor the performance and maintenance of LID practices and communicated the ways to improve the design, installation and management of LID

features. Monitoring found that all LID practices ([[Permeable pavements]], [[grass swaless]], and a [[Rainwater harvesting]] system) at CVC's Head Office reduces the runoff volume of rain events by 63%. This is an improvement from typical parking lots where the majority of runoff travels directly into the storm sewers and into our streams and Lake Ontario. The site also removes 81% of total suspended solids. Learn mroe about this work by clickign the button above.

The purpose of this document authored by TRCA and CVC is to inform the need for, and the design of, mitigation measures to ensure a minimal difference between the post-development and pre-development water balance of a wetland. This Modelling Document provides an overview of wetland hydrology modelling, the strengths and weaknesses of various hydrological models, and the information that needs to be included in a wetland feature-based water analysis report.

Green Glade Sr. Public School is a senior elementary school located in south Mississauga, adjacent to Rattray Marsh, a provincially significant wetland. In 2011, Green Glade and Peel District School Board (PDSB) staff worked with Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) to retrofit the school property to incorporate a [[Rain garden]] low impact development (LID) feature. The rain garden accepts runoff from a portion of the school’s roof as well as runoff from a section of the parking lot. Learn about how the site was used as one of seven [[Bioretention]] practices that were studied in an effort to develop ‘certification protocols’ for LID practices. These  protocols are a process that municipalities and property managers can use to ensure that LID practices function as intended. To learn more click the button above.

In the fall of 2014, the Town of Ajax completed the construction of three bioretention areas that blend function with aesthetics. Located within a well-established community adjacent to lakefront access and trail systems, the [[Rain gardens]]  were constructed in the Town’s road allowance and the parking area south of Lake Driveway West and follows the recommendations of the Town of Ajax Stormwater Management Retrofit Master Plan which aims to improve water quality for South Ajax.
