Around the corner
Food premises, public washrooms, child care and emergency services — distances are straight-line from the node
Restaurants & food
There are 9 restaurants, cafés and takeouts within 300 m of the corner, and 38 eating places within a kilometre. The nearest is Kandahar Kabab, 94 m away, which got a conditional pass at its last DineSafe inspection in September 2026 with 6 infractions noted.
| Nearest food premises | Distance | Latest DineSafe inspection |
|---|---|---|
| Kandahar Kabab · 2307 Markham Rd | 94 m | Conditional pass, Sep 2026 · 6 infractions |
| Nicey's Eatery · 2290 Markham Rd Lot-R4 | 135 m | Passed, Nov 2025 |
| Madame Saigon · 2270 Markham Rd Unit-A | 160 m | Passed, Jul 2026 · 2 infractions |

| Chef's Depot · 5590 Finch Ave E | 197 m | Passed, Jul 2025 |
| McDonald's · 2260 Markham Rd | 221 m | Passed, Jul 2025 |
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.
Washrooms & water
No City washroom within 1 km.
Park washrooms, washrooms in City buildings and automated street toilets, with hours and status as the City publishes them (park washrooms are seasonal). Malls, shops and TTC stations are not included.
Child care
No licensed child care centre within 1 km.
Emergency services
The nearest fire hall is Fire Station 211 (1.2 km), the nearest police station 42 Division (2.6 km) and the nearest ambulance station 1.2 km 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: 54 m away, ≈78 spaces; 64 m away, ≈58 spaces; 138 m away, ≈568 spaces; 237 m away, ≈294 spaces; 253 m away, ≈119 spaces; 295 m away, ≈1,542 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, Sep 24, 2025
The north leg carries the load — 16,831 southbound vehicles, or 31% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 10,672. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,575 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 4,757 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
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
The City's most recent midblock count on Finch Ave E between Tiffield Rd and Markham Rd (53 m away, Oct 2011) recorded volume only — about 13,476 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Finch Ave E · Tiffield Rd – Markham Rd · 53 m | Oct 2011 · 3 days | 13,476 | — | — | — |
| Markham Rd · Nugget Ave – Finch Ave E · 66 m | Sep 2014 · 7 days | 25,506 | — | — | — |
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
2019 was the peak year (127 collisions), and 2025 closed with 70. 19% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 93 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 2% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 37 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 26, 2026.
By year
Exposure-adjusted: 14.5 collisions per year per 10,000 daily vehicles, using the latest 14-hour count.

|---|---|---|
| All reported collisions | 794 | #35 of 5,508 |

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
None of the five serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 3 pedestrians and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. 3 of the 5 happened in darkness — 60%, above the citywide 39%. The most recent was on Jan 4, 2023. Going back to 2006, the total is 7. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.
By year
Exposure-adjusted: 0.09 KSI collisions per year per 10,000 daily vehicles.
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 5 | #15 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 3 | #37 of 879 |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 1 | |
| In darkness | 3 | 60% here vs 39% citywide |
| All KSI since 2006 | 7 | latest Jan 4, 2023 |
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.
Thefts reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Toronto Police place 40 thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 6.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 9 in 2023–2025, about 3.0 a year, against 4.4 a year before that. 48% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 40 | 9 | 0 | street/outdoor (19), commercial premises (19) |
| Bicycle theft | 0 | 0 | 0 | — |
Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Dec 17, 2025. Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Morningside Heights.
