Projects to preserve the distinctive character of our neighbourhood the ARA is undertaking and participating in are:

  • A Bloor-Corridor Visioning study for the area bounded by Avenue Road, Dupont, Bathurst and Bloor and the areas immediately south of Bloor, in cooperation with our fellow residents’ and business associations and cultural and educational institutions. The study will look at assets such as parks, schools, public transit, parking, and built form so that our heritage can be recognized and intensification in our area can be rationally planned; For more information, please email Robert Brown.
  • an Annex-wide Heritage Conservation District study of our most important continuous streetscapes;
  • upgrading our limited parks and producing an open space and parks study and strategy

Join us  to learn what we have done, what we want to do, and how you can play a role

All are welcome (owners, residents’ tenants, students, and business operators).
