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
No City washroom within 1 km.
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.

Licensed centres only; spaces are licensed capacity, not vacancies.
Emergency services
The nearest fire hall is Fire Station 211 (259 m), the nearest police station 42 Division (3.9 km) and the nearest ambulance station 259 m 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: 105 m away, ≈525 spaces; 108 m away, ≈170 spaces; 124 m away, ≈322 spaces; 152 m away, ≈351 spaces; 179 m away, ≈117 spaces; 212 m away, ≈158 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, Oct 17, 2018
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,388 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 465 from the south. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,553 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m., 14% above the afternoon peak from 4:00 p.m. (1,361). Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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 most recent midblock count on McNicoll Ave between Markham Rd and Ironside Cres (74 m away, Sep 2019) recorded volume only — about 10,469 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| McNicoll Ave · Markham Rd – Ironside Cres · 74 m | Sep 2019 · 7 days | 10,469 | — | — | — |
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
The worst year was 2019, with 12 collisions; 2025 recorded 8. 17 collisions (20%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 19, 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
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Nov 29, 2018.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #1184 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 0 | |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 1 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 1 | latest Nov 29, 2018 |
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

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Feb 21, 2023. 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 Morningside Heights.
