• Comment: You might try adding a bit on the BIA to Riverdale, Toronto. I really don't think you'll be able to get enough sources to show that this BIA meets WP:NCORP - that's a really tough standard to meet. You've added some independent sources in your last edit, but what we need are independent sources about the BIA itself. You're welcome to try to prove me wrong, but I don't think any BIA is likely to meet that standard unless it's really, really notorious. asilvering (talk) 06:46, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

The Riverside Business Improvement Area (BIA) is the BIA within Toronto’s Riverside neighbourhood, situated along Queen Street East from Davies Avenue to just past the world-famous De Grassi Street, and south including Baseball Place Lane and East Don Roadway.

It is located within the Riverside neighbourhood, in the south Riverdale area of Toronto’s east end in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

As a non-profit organization run by local business and property owners, the BIA’s mandate is to improve, beautify, and promote Riverside as a business and shopping district through marketing, public programming, and streetscape improvements.^[1] It is one of 83 BIAs in Toronto.^[2]
