1. Types of business:

On the west side of Allen Rd. (Downsview Station), a Canadian Forces Armoury, various warehouses, and casual restaurants are found (above). On the east side, law firms, dental clinics, beauty specialists and other mom-and-pop stores (conveniences, food store, pet shops, restaurants) dominate the streets of Sheppard and Wilson Heights Blvd. (below)

Quite heavy on Sheppard at Allen. Traffic is light around Sheppard and Wilson Heights.

Downsview is Liberal-dominated neighbourhood.
