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 Cedarbrae Golf & Country Club, 472 m away, which passed its last DineSafe inspection in June 2026.
| Nearest food premises | Distance | Latest DineSafe inspection |
|---|---|---|
| Cedarbrae Golf & Country Club · 55 Mac Frost Way | 472 m | Passed, Jun 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
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.

Emergency services
The nearest fire hall is Fire Station 211 (1.6 km) and the nearest ambulance station 1.6 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: 396 m away, ≈365 spaces; 566 m away, ≈84 spaces; 593 m away, ≈4 spaces; 607 m away, ≈60 spaces; 651 m away, ≈23 spaces; 706 m away, ≈73 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, Feb 12, 2026
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 2,638 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 185 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 560 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 489 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
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 Staines Rd between Steppingstone Trl and Solstice Dr, 177 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2023 put the average speed at 47 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 6,200 vehicles a day. Hepatica St between Boulderbrook Dr and Rivendell Trl measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Jun 2005).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hepatica St · Boulderbrook Dr – Rivendell Trl · 111 m | Jun 2005 · 24 h | 412 | 28 km/h | 35 km/h | 39 km/h |
| Staines Rd · Steppingstone Trl – Solstice Dr · 177 m | Aug 2023 · 3 days | 6,162 | 47 km/h | 54 km/h | 58 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.
