Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Jan 28, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 16,617 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 30% of the total, against 12,665 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 5,201 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 4,803 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 4,803 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 5,201 from 4:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Within a walk
What the City's own records put within a walk of this corner — distances are the walk along real streets and paths. Shops, banks, gyms and clinics are in no City dataset, so they are not here.
Steeles Avenue is the city limit. Everything on the north side of the street is in Vaughan or Markham and outside every Toronto dataset on this page — the restaurants, shops and services across the road are not counted, on the map or in the score below.
Food, shops and services
Food premises Toronto Public Health has inspected since November 2023, screened by name and location to leave out the kitchens inside care homes, child care, schools and offices, and carts and stalls; a shop without a recent inspection does not appear. Pharmacies, hospital sites and care homes from the Ontario Ministry of Health's register — a hospital site may be a rehabilitation or specialty hospital without an emergency department; in an emergency call 911.
