Downsview (TTC)
Downsview (to be renamed Sheppard West upon completion of the Spadina subway extension) is a station of the Yonge–University–Spadina line of the Toronto subway and RT. It is located at the intersection of William R. Allen Road and Sheppard Avenue West. The station is currently the northern terminus of its western branch, the Spadina line. It is also a ‘Vivastation’ on the Orange line of York Region’s Viva bus rapid transit system. The TTC station opened in 1996 in what was then the City of North York, and the Vivastation opened on October 16, 2005. The station has a large (641-space) commuter parking lot, accessible via Allen Road and Sheppard Avenue, which opened in July 2005.
The TTC had proposed that Downsview Station's name be changed to "Sheppard West", while the future subway station north of Downsview would be named "Downsview Park" and on 28 September 2012 they decided to rename it. The name changes would take effect once the Spadina subway extension is completed.
