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.

31 spaces · toddler, preschool · fee subsidy · $10-a-day852 m
Licensed centres only; spaces are licensed capacity, not vacancies.
Emergency services
The nearest fire hall is Fire Station 211 (1.2 km), the nearest police station 42 Division (2.8 km) and the nearest ambulance station 1.2 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: 98 m away, ≈124 spaces; 139 m away, ≈22 spaces; 246 m away, ≈900 spaces; 279 m away, ≈1,782 spaces; 292 m away, ≈294 spaces; 304 m away, ≈201 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, Dec 11, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 10,133 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 37% of the total, against 4,518 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,810 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 2,221 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 7.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
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 Tapscott Rd between Melford Dr and Finch Ave E, 183 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2025 put the average speed at 53 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 60 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 65 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,500 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tapscott Rd · Melford Dr – Finch Ave E · 183 m | Apr 2025 · 3 days | 11,491 | 53 km/h | 60 km/h | 65 km/h |
| Finch Ave E · Tapscott Rd – Baldoon Rd · 200 m | Oct 2011 · 3 days | 12,323 | — | — | — |
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 2019, with 35 collisions; 2025 recorded 24. 48 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 33 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 8 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 15 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 15, 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. 3 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Feb 14, 2013.
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
13 thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 0 in 2023–2025, about 0.0 a year, against 1.9 a year before that. 62% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 13 | 0 | 0 | street/outdoor (8), commercial premises (4) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Aug 10, 2021. 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 Malvern West.
