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 public washroom is listed within a kilometre, but there is a drinking fountain 341 m away at Plunkett Park.
No City washroom within 1 km.
- Drinking water
- Plunkett Park drinking fountain · 341 m
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.

Licensed centres only; spaces are licensed capacity, not vacancies.
Emergency services
The nearest fire hall is Fire Station 411 (2.3 km), the nearest police station 23 Division (2.4 km) and the nearest ambulance station 2.4 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: 53 m away, ≈46 spaces; 70 m away, ≈110 spaces; 87 m away, ≈19 spaces; 161 m away, ≈460 spaces; 250 m away, ≈33 spaces; 277 m away, ≈339 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 — 8-hour, Dec 10, 2022 (a weekend day)
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 8,647 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 32% of the total, against 4,807 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 4,151 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 2,439 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% 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 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
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 Islington Ave between Thorold Gt and Brazil Gt, 168 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2023 put the average speed at 51 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 60 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 66 km/h or more. That segment carries about 22,600 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Steeles Ave W · Islington Ave – Humber River Recreational Trl · 113 m | Mar 2016 · 9 days | 20,548 | — | — | — |
| Islington Ave · Thorold Gt – Brazil Gt · 168 m | Jun 2023 · 3 days | 22,619 | 51 km/h | 60 km/h | 66 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
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 3 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Aug 1, 2013.
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
Four thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 4 | 3 | 0 | commercial premises (2), street/outdoor (1) |
| Bicycle theft | 0 | 0 | 0 | — |
Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Feb 14, 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 Humber Summit.
