Around the corner
Food premises, public washrooms, child care and emergency services — distances are straight-line from the node
Restaurants & food
No restaurant or café sits within 300 m of the corner; 1 eating place is within a kilometre — well below the median of 73 within a kilometre. The nearest is Natalie's Kitchen, 812 m away, which passed its last DineSafe inspection in June 2026.
| Nearest food premises | Distance | Latest DineSafe inspection |
|---|---|---|
| Natalie's Kitchen · 516 the Kingsway | 812 m | Passed, Jun 2026 |
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.

Emergency services
The nearest fire hall is Fire Station 443 (1.4 km), the nearest police station 22 Division (2.9 km) and the nearest ambulance station 1.9 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: 67 m away, ≈77 spaces; 600 m away, ≈58 spaces; 611 m away, ≈45 spaces; 680 m away, ≈17 spaces; 713 m away, ≈82 spaces; 724 m away, ≈36 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 25, 2023
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 9,664 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 55% of the total, against 145 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,762 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,850 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years 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 Kipling Ave between Lesmar Dr and Firwood Cres, 50 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2023 put the average speed at 59 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 67 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 73 km/h or more. That segment carries about 16,100 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kipling Ave · Lesmar Dr – Firwood Cres · 50 m | Aug 2023 · 3 days | 16,121 | 59 km/h | 67 km/h | 73 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
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Oct 19, 2022. 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 Princess-Rosethorn.
