The nearest fire hall is Fire Station 241 (1.2 km) and the nearest ambulance station 693 m away.
Nearest station by straight line — not a response time, and not necessarily the station that would answer a call.
Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking
Nearest lots: 108 m away, ≈4 spaces; 178 m away, ≈5 spaces; 231 m away, ≈268 spaces; 248 m away, ≈35 spaces; 316 m away, ≈2 spaces; 324 m away, ≈2 spaces.
Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.
Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 19, 2024 (a weekend day)
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 9,851 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 30% of the total, against 6,548 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 3,104 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:15 p.m., against 2,245 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.
How fast traffic moves here
Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming
On McNicoll Ave between Morbank Dr and Silver Springs Blvd, 282 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2025 put the average speed at 45 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 25,100 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Fundy Bay Blvd (383 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.1% of the 30,664 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

School-zone speed sign 383 m
Fundy Bay Blvd (westbound), 82 Fundy Bay Boulevard · 30,664 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
The worst year was 2023, with 29 collisions; 2025 recorded 25. 49 collisions (23%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 18 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here, the latest on Jul 17, 2026. 1 older KSI collision is on file from before 2016.
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |

| All KSI collisions | 0 | |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 0 | |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |

| Since January 2026 (outside the window) | 1 | latest Jul 17, 2026 |
| All KSI since 2006 | 2 | latest Jul 17, 2026 |
KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
