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 The Eatery at Cmcc, 550 m away, which passed its last DineSafe inspection in April 2026.
| Nearest food premises | Distance | Latest DineSafe inspection |
|---|---|---|
| The Eatery at Cmcc · 6100 Leslie St | 550 m | Passed, Apr 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 Cummer Park Community Centre Washroom, 940 m away, View centre hours. A drinking fountain is 553 m away at Saddletree Park.
- Cummer Park Community Centre Washroom · 6000 Leslie St

Park washrooms, washrooms in City buildings and automated street toilets, with hours and status as the City publishes them (park washrooms are seasonal). Malls, shops and TTC stations are not included.
Child care
No licensed child care centre within 1 km.
Emergency services
The nearest fire hall is Fire Station 113 (2.4 km) and the nearest ambulance station 2.7 km away.
Nearest station by straight line — not a response time, and not necessarily the station that would answer a call.
Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
One registered apartment building with 397 rental units stands within a kilometre of the corner, it is social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 23. The nearest is 4000 Don Mills Rd (940 m, 397 units, 6 storeys, built 1980), which scored 95 out of 100 at its June 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4000 Don Mills RdToronto Community Housing · Toronto Community Housing Corporation | 397 | 6 | 1980 | 95 · Jun 2024 | 0 | 940 m |
The City's RentSafeTO register — rental apartment buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units — with the score from each building's latest City evaluation (out of 100; poor scores trigger a full audit). LTB orders are final Landlord and Tenant Board orders naming the address (Jan 2026 – Jun 2026); fire-code violations are open items in Toronto Fire Services' inspection data. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport. Condominiums and houses are not registered.
Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking
Nearest lots: 145 m away, ≈129 spaces; 239 m away, ≈58 spaces; 373 m away, ≈81 spaces; 467 m away, ≈60 spaces; 494 m away, ≈243 spaces; 496 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, Jan 31, 2023
The east leg carries the load — 9,999 westbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 174. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,586 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,828 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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
The City's counter on Steeles Ave E between Paul Markway and Aspenwood Dr (292 m away) recorded an average of 63 km/h in its 24-hour count in March 2009; 85% of drivers were at or under 73 km/h. That segment carries about 36,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leslie St · Equestrian Crt – Steeles Ave E · 77 m | Jun 2016 · 3 days | 26,462 | — | — | — |
| Steeles Ave E · Paul Markway – Aspenwood Dr · 292 m | Mar 2009 · 24 h | 36,824 | 63 km/h | 73 km/h | 78 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
Toronto Police recorded no collisions of any severity within 65 m of this intersection in 2016–2025.
Source: Toronto Police Service, Traffic Collisions Open Data — every collision reported to police since 2014, within 65 m of this node. Records through Jun 30, 2026.
Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jun 19, 2013.
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 one theft from a vehicle and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Apr 10, 2021. 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.
