Around the corner
Food premises, public washrooms, child care and emergency services — distances are straight-line from the node
Restaurants & food
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 West Rouge Community Centre Washroom, 447 m away, View centre hours; it is wheelchair-accessible. A drinking fountain is 378 m away at West Rouge Park.

Emergency services
The nearest fire hall is Fire Station 215 (2.3 km), the nearest police station 43 Division (4.5 km) and the nearest ambulance station 4.5 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: 57 m away, ≈16 spaces; 370 m away, ≈215 spaces; 465 m away, ≈211 spaces; 502 m away, ≈4 spaces; 935 m away, ≈51 spaces; 1 km away, ≈3 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, Sep 24, 2019
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 598 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 315 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 218 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 186 in the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 17.6% 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 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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.
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 Portwine Dr and Starspray Blvd, 142 m from the corner, a 7-day count in December 2021 put the average speed at 56 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 64 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 70 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starspray Blvd · Lawrence Ave E – Ridgewood Rd · 28 m | Jun 2007 · 3 days | 2,070 | — | — | — |
| Lawrence Ave E · Portwine Dr – Starspray Blvd · 142 m | Dec 2021 · 7 days | 2,453 | 56 km/h | 64 km/h | 70 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
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 May 12, 2021.
By year

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
Four 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.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Aug 3, 2019. 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.
