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; 3 eating places are within a kilometre — well below the median of 73 within a kilometre. The nearest is Dandilion Cafe, 453 m away, which passed its last DineSafe inspection in June 2026 with 1 infraction noted.

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

Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking
| Green P car park | Distance | Spaces | Peak occupancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2170 Bayview avenue · Surface | 1.6 km | 69 * | — |
Nearest lots: 553 m away, ≈88 spaces; 590 m away, ≈17 spaces; 616 m away, ≈484 spaces; 728 m away, ≈203 spaces; 776 m away, ≈53 spaces; 805 m away, ≈42 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 19, 2019
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,041 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 723 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,602 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,216 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Trucks and buses were 7.2% 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 The Bridle Path and Edwards Gardens Trl, 128 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in May 2009 put the average speed at 56 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 64 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 69 km/h or more. That segment carries about 12,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 6 speed humps slow traffic on The Bridle Path between Bayview Ave and Lawrence Ave E.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lawrence Ave E · The Bridle Path – Edwards Gardens Trl · 128 m | May 2009 · 24 h | 12,925 | 56 km/h | 64 km/h | 69 km/h |
Traffic calming
- The Bridle Path · Bayview Ave – Lawrence Ave E
6 speed humps
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
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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 reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
One theft from a vehicle and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025.

Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Bridle Path-Sunnybrook-York Mills.
