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.

Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking
Nearest lots: 77 m away, ≈450 spaces; 113 m away, ≈31 spaces; 116 m away, ≈3 spaces; 137 m away, ≈3 spaces; 244 m away, ≈898 spaces; 514 m away, ≈422 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, May 21, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 2,406 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 36% of the total, against 1,249 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 863 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:30 p.m., against 741 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Trucks and buses were 8.3% 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 16 months 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 Lawrence Ave E between Frank Faubert Dr and Portwine Dr, 318 m from the corner, a 3-day count in July 2025 put the average speed at 47 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 55 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 61 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,200 vehicles a day. East Ave between Wheeling Dr and Golders Green Ave measured slower: 44 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 52 km/h (Jun 2019). At the school-zone speed sign on East Ave (397 m away, 40 km/h limit), 3.2% of the 46,084 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lawrence Ave E · Frank Faubert Dr – Portwine Dr · 318 m | Jul 2025 · 3 days | 3,150 | 47 km/h | 55 km/h | 61 km/h |
| East Ave · Wheeling Dr – Golders Green Ave · 355 m | Jun 2019 · 3 days | 3,622 | 44 km/h | 52 km/h | 57 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 397 m
East Ave (northbound), 113/115 East Ave · 46,084 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Jul 15, 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 from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Seven 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. 43% of the vehicle thefts were from house driveways and garages.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jul 16, 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 West Rouge.
