Parkdale Developments Walking Tour
Ric Amis, Chair of PRA
The Parkdale Residents Association (PRA) is mapping local developments—and we want you to see the changes firsthand. With over 4,000 new units proposed across twenty sites, this walking tour invites you to: witness the scale of expansion, question the mix of condos, rentals, and affordable housing, celebrate Parkdale’s layered history, and take part in the living ecosystem of change. Demonstrating the power of walkable neighborhoods, we’ll highlight how different approaches to density and affordability could transform street life.
Like Jane, we believe locals should shape their streets and so this tour is connected to a larger project which includes a public map tracking development proposals and a grading system aligned with the Parkdale Community Benefits Framework that holds developers to account for the good they bring (or fail to bring) to our community. Come curious, leave informed—and ready to shape what’s next.
