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; 3 eating places are within a kilometre — well below the median of 73 within a kilometre. The nearest is Thai Square, 1.0 km away, which passed its last DineSafe inspection in July 2026.
| Nearest food premises | Distance | Latest DineSafe inspection |
|---|---|---|

| Rouge Kitchen · 297 Port Union Rd Unit-13 | 1 km | Passed, Aug 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 West Rouge Community Centre Washroom, 277 m away, View centre hours; it is wheelchair-accessible. A drinking fountain is 251 m away at West Rouge Park.

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: 252 m away, ≈211 spaces; 429 m away, ≈16 spaces; 559 m away, ≈215 spaces; 665 m away, ≈4 spaces; 746 m away, ≈69 spaces; 762 m away, ≈51 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, Aug 20, 2019
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 146 vehicles entering from the north to 180 from the south. Morning rush is the busier period: 77 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:45 a.m., compared with 66 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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 Starspray Blvd between Clearlake Ave and West Rouge Park Trl (215 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 3-day count in June 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. Friendship Ave between Birdsilver Gdns and Blueking Cres measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Apr 2026).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starspray Blvd · Clearlake Ave – West Rouge Park Trl · 215 m | Jun 2024 · 3 days | 734 | 36 km/h | 45 km/h | 49 km/h |
| Friendship Ave · Birdsilver Gdns – Blueking Cres · 275 m | Apr 2026 · 3 days | 2,174 | 37 km/h | 44 km/h | 48 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.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.
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 Mar 23, 2018. 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 West Rouge.
