A section of Toronto’s Danforth Village is expected to look dramatically different over next several years, in stark contrast to the existing apartment blocks, parking lots, and big-box retailers that make up the area today.
Centred around the intersection of Main Street at Danforth Avenue, the area is part of the Main Street and Danforth GO Major Transit Station Areas (MTSA’s).
