A parkette on Bain Ave in Riverdale has been named for a former Leaside woman, Erica Stark. She was killed in 2014 when a minivan jumped the sidewalk and struck her while she was walking a dog in Scarborough. The accident occurred at the corner of Gilder Rd. and Eglinton Ave.  Stark, 42, was honoured by friends and family, including her husband David, at a ceremony in the parkette Saturday. It is located near Pape and Danforth Ave. and was the former Bain Ave. Parkette. Erica Stark was born Erica Bissinger and spent her formative years in Leaside. She has three children, all boys.
