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 Le Petit Chaperon Rouge-Scarborough, 398 m away, which passed its last DineSafe inspection in May 2026.
| Nearest food premises | Distance | Latest DineSafe inspection |
|---|---|---|
| Le Petit Chaperon Rouge-Scarborough · 29 Meadowvale Rd | 398 m | Passed, May 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
The nearest public washroom is Colonel Danforth Park Washroom, 1.0 km away, open 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.; it is wheelchair-accessible.
- Colonel Danforth Park Washroom · 73 Colonel Danforth Trl

Emergency services
The nearest fire hall is Fire Station 215 (409 m), the nearest police station 43 Division (1.8 km) and the nearest ambulance station 1.8 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: 332 m away, ≈86 spaces; 341 m away, ≈31 spaces; 374 m away, ≈15 spaces; 408 m away, ≈52 spaces; 580 m away, ≈4 spaces; 627 m away, ≈5 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 13, 2017
The east leg carries the load — 2,866 westbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 65. Morning rush is the busier period: 1,072 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 938 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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.

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.

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Toronto Police place five thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 60% of the vehicle thefts were from other premises.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Aug 16, 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 Centennial Scarborough.
