Every establishment Toronto Public Health inspects under DineSafe, screened by name to leave out kitchens inside schools, care homes and offices. A conditional pass means infractions had to be fixed by a follow-up visit, not that the premises is closed.

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, Jun 11, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 12,295 eastbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 219. Most cyclists arrived from the east (61 of 89). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,471 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 11% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,223). Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 15 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's counter on Burnhamthorpe Rd between Echo Valley Rd and Lorraine Gdns (170 m away) recorded an average of 54 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 60 km/h. That segment carries about 21,800 vehicles a day. Lorraine Gdns between Burnhamthorpe Rd and Appleby Rd measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Nov 2013).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Burnhamthorpe Rd · Echo Valley Rd – Lorraine Gdns · 170 mApr 2026 · 3 days21,77554 km/h60 km/h66 km/h
Lorraine Gdns · Burnhamthorpe Rd – Appleby Rd · 246 mNov 2013 · 24 h48742 km/h49 km/h54 km/h

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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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.
