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.

Emergency services
The nearest fire hall is Fire Station 215 (1.2 km), the nearest police station 43 Division (1.0 km) and the nearest ambulance station 1.0 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: 85 m away, ≈21 spaces; 435 m away, ≈201 spaces; 438 m away, ≈232 spaces; 442 m away, ≈72 spaces; 521 m away, ≈31 spaces; 601 m away, ≈86 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, Mar 24, 2026
The east leg carries the load — 4,497 westbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 96. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,103 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,037 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.6% 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 counter on Lawrence Ave E between McMillan Ave and Atkinson Ave (239 m away) recorded an average of 61 km/h in its 3-day count in August 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 70 km/h. That segment carries about 10,400 vehicles a day. Beechgrove Dr between Atkinson Ave and Fergalea Ave measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Jul 2024).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lawrence Ave E · McMillan Ave – Atkinson Ave · 239 m | Aug 2023 · 3 days | 10,429 | 61 km/h | 70 km/h | 77 km/h |
| Beechgrove Dr · Atkinson Ave – Fergalea Ave · 347 m | Jul 2024 · 3 days | 1,327 | 38 km/h | 44 km/h | 49 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.
