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.

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: 62 m away, ≈37 spaces; 118 m away, ≈2 spaces; 136 m away, ≈7 spaces; 147 m away, ≈2 spaces; 153 m away, ≈12 spaces; 168 m away, ≈11 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, Dec 11, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 9,300 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 1,877 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,167 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,883 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 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
On Morningside Ave between Morningview Trl and Sewells Rd, 254 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2023 put the average speed at 65 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 72 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 78 km/h or more. That segment carries about 19,800 vehicles a day. Sewells Rd between Walkway N of McLevin and W of Sewells and Hupfield Trl measured slower: 50 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 57 km/h (Apr 2025). At the school-zone speed sign on Sewells Rd (315 m away, 40 km/h limit), 11% of the 59,487 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Morningside Ave · Morningview Trl – Sewells Rd · 254 m | Aug 2023 · 3 days | 19,819 | 65 km/h | 72 km/h | 78 km/h |
| Sewells Rd · Walkway N of McLevin and W of Sewells – Hupfield Trl · 373 m | Apr 2025 · 3 days | 5,223 | 50 km/h | 57 km/h | 62 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 315 m
Sewells Rd (eastbound), 59 Couperthwaite Crescent · 59,487 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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 2017, with 17 collisions; 2025 recorded 12. 25 collisions (24%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 16 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 15, 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 was fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on May 5, 2017. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #608 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 1 | #259 of 319 |

| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 1 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 4 | latest May 5, 2017 |
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.
