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.
Child care
No licensed child care centre within 1 km.
Emergency services
The nearest fire hall is Fire Station 141 (1.8 km), the nearest police station 31 Division (4.2 km) and the nearest ambulance station 3.0 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
| Green P car park | Distance | Spaces | Peak occupancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3950 Keele Street · Surface | 1.9 km | 335 * | — |
Nearest lots: 83 m away, ≈317 spaces; 130 m away, ≈344 spaces; 152 m away, ≈91 spaces; 166 m away, ≈93 spaces; 204 m away, ≈93 spaces; 226 m away, ≈128 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, May 27, 2026
The east leg carries the load — 19,820 westbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 996. Most cyclists arrived from the west (85 of 122). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,783 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. (3,227). Trucks and buses were 6.7% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
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 most recent midblock count on Steeles Ave W between Shale Gt and Petrolia Rd (120 m away, Jun 2016) recorded volume only — about 1,823 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Steeles Ave W · Shale Gt – Petrolia Rd · 120 m | Jun 2016 · 3 days | 1,823 | — | — | — |
| Petrolia Rd · Limestone Cres – Steeles Ave W · 148 m | Jun 2016 · 3 days | 8,909 | — | — | — |
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
2018 was the peak year (22 collisions), and 2025 closed with 4. 14% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 11 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 12, 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. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here — it was fatal (1 pedestrian involved), the latest on Feb 3, 2026. 2 older KSI collisions are on file from before 2016.
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 0 | |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 0 | |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | |
| Since January 2026 (outside the window) | 1 | 1 fatal · 1 pedestrian · latest Feb 3, 2026 |
| All KSI since 2006 | 3 | latest Feb 3, 2026 |
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 five thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection 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 | 0 | 0 | street/outdoor (3), other (1) |
| Bicycle theft | 1 | 0 | 0 | commercial premises (1) |
Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Apr 2, 2020. 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 York University Heights.
