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

Emergency services
The nearest fire hall is Fire Station 212 (943 m), the nearest police station 42 Division (3.5 km) and the nearest ambulance station 1.0 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: 90 m away, ≈244 spaces; 129 m away, ≈159 spaces; 133 m away, ≈520 spaces; 153 m away, ≈598 spaces; 247 m away, ≈3 spaces; 247 m away, ≈55 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, Apr 1, 2023 (a weekend day)
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 7,006 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 32% of the total, against 3,311 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 3,402 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,938 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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 Morningside Ave between Morningside Ave S and Milner Ave, 212 m from the corner, a 7-day count in October 2019 put the average speed at 61 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 70 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 75 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,900 vehicles a day. Sheppard Ave E between Morningside Ave and Water Tower Gt measured slower: 55 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 64 km/h (Nov 2020). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sheppard Ave E · Morningside Ave – Water Tower Gt · 206 m | Nov 2020 · 24 h | 18,482 | 55 km/h | 64 km/h | 71 km/h |
| Morningside Ave · Morningside Ave S – Milner Ave · 212 m | Oct 2019 · 7 days | 9,933 | 61 km/h | 70 km/h | 75 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
The worst year was 2016, with 101 collisions; 2025 recorded 83. 118 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 113 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 20 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 55 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 29, 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. 4 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on May 25, 2015.
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
Five thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 60% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 5 | 1 | 0 | street/outdoor (3), commercial premises (1) |
| Bicycle theft | 1 | 1 | 0 | house driveway/garage (1) |
Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Oct 30, 2024. 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.
