Emergency services
The nearest fire hall is Fire Station 215 (1.7 km), the nearest police station 43 Division (3.9 km) and the nearest ambulance station 3.9 km away.

Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking
Nearest lots: 239 m away, ≈3 spaces; 249 m away, ≈4 spaces; 262 m away, ≈31 spaces; 278 m away, ≈3 spaces; 374 m away, ≈450 spaces; 530 m away, ≈51 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, Jul 22, 2025
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 1,242 eastbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 83. Most cyclists arrived from the west (117 of 206). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 252 vehicles in the hour from 6:30 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (229). Trucks and buses were 9.2% 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 14 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
The City's counter on Lawrence Ave E between Frank Faubert Dr and Portwine Dr (35 m away) recorded an average of 47 km/h in its 3-day count in July 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 55 km/h. That segment carries about 3,200 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lawrence Ave E · Frank Faubert Dr – Portwine Dr · 35 m | Jul 2025 · 3 days | 3,150 | 47 km/h | 55 km/h | 61 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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jun 26, 2025.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #1122 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 1 | #643 of 879 |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 1 | latest Jun 26, 2025 |
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 reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Toronto Police place two thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 2 | 0 | 0 | house driveway/garage (1), other (1) |
| Bicycle theft | 1 | 0 | 0 | street/outdoor (1) |
Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through May 20, 2020. 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.
