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 241 (1.3 km) and the nearest ambulance station 2.2 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: 89 m away, ≈190 spaces; 462 m away, ≈74 spaces; 478 m away, ≈33 spaces; 504 m away, ≈226 spaces; 532 m away, ≈5 spaces; 543 m away, ≈52 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, Jan 31, 2023
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 8,154 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 726 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,426 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,617 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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
On Steeles Ave E between Birchmount Rd and Kelvin Grove Ave, 197 m from the corner, a 3-day count in July 2025 put the average speed at 53 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 61 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 67 km/h or more. That segment carries about 38,400 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kelvin Grove Ave · Canongate Trl – Steeles Ave E · 123 m | Jun 2016 · 3 days | 4,131 | — | — | — |
| Steeles Ave E · Birchmount Rd – Kelvin Grove Ave · 197 m | Jul 2025 · 3 days | 38,439 | 53 km/h | 61 km/h | 67 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.

By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 4 | #29 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 1 | #282 of 319 |
| Involving a pedestrian | 4 | #7 of 879 |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 2 | 50% here vs 39% citywide |
| All KSI since 2006 | 6 | latest Oct 17, 2024 |
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.
