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
One licensed child care centre within a kilometre offers 58 spaces; it does not accept City fee subsidy. The nearest is Cambridge Leaf Montessori School (893 m, 58 spaces, toddler, preschool).
- Cambridge Leaf Montessori School · 3875 McNicoll Ave
58 spaces · toddler, preschool893 m
Licensed centres only; spaces are licensed capacity, not vacancies.
Emergency services
The nearest fire hall is Fire Station 211 (665 m), the nearest police station 42 Division (3.2 km) and the nearest ambulance station 665 m 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: 40 m away, ≈26 spaces; 155 m away, ≈764 spaces; 202 m away, ≈23 spaces; 229 m away, ≈21 spaces; 284 m away, ≈5,142 spaces; 292 m away, ≈467 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, Feb 22, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,305 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 231 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 920 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 614 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 16.2% 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 Tapscott Rd between Newgale Gt and McNicoll Ave, 163 m from the corner, a 7-day count in May 2023 put the average speed at 62 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 70 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 77 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,000 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tapscott Rd · Newgale Gt – McNicoll Ave · 163 m | May 2023 · 7 days | 8,986 | 62 km/h | 70 km/h | 77 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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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
Three thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 3 | 0 | 0 | street/outdoor (2), commercial premises (1) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Aug 12, 2022. 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 Morningside Heights.
