While the Junction area of Dundas St West has filled with great food establishments, it needs more of what it is missing... stores maybe run by craftspeople, furniture maker/designers, a sustainable jewelery store and more clothing stores . These type of retailers would help round out the retail offerings and probably generate more traffic for the food establishments. But does it need more galleries? Yes, its accepted that galleries bring people from out of the community which in turn (hopefully) shop and eat in the Junction. Galleries also provide interest for locals, but a street with more than enough galleries removes valuable retail space for some of the other retailers mentioned above. This can reduce the possibility of the strip having a complete and varied retail sector that can fulfill the needs of the community.
