Emergency services
The nearest fire hall is Fire Station 411 (2.1 km), the nearest police station 23 Division (2.2 km) and the nearest ambulance station 2.2 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: 181 m away, ≈46 spaces; 189 m away, ≈19 spaces; 263 m away, ≈110 spaces; 305 m away, ≈460 spaces; 365 m away, ≈339 spaces; 367 m away, ≈57 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, Jan 26, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 5,648 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 352 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,809 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,510 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Trucks and buses were 8.4% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 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, 42 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Islington Ave · Thorold Gt – Brazil Gt · 42 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.
