Emergency services
The nearest fire hall is Fire Station 241 (1.3 km) and the nearest ambulance station 2.6 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: 50 m away, ≈54 spaces; 70 m away, ≈9 spaces; 83 m away, ≈47 spaces; 123 m away, ≈247 spaces; 135 m away, ≈530 spaces; 142 m away, ≈525 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, Nov 29, 2025 (a weekend day)
The north leg carries the load — 8,615 southbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,177. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,676 vehicles in the hour from 2:30 p.m., 38% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,216). Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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 counter on Victoria Park Ave between Sparks Ave and Gordon Baker Rd (123 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 3-day count in December 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 18,100 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Victoria Park Ave · Sparks Ave – Gordon Baker Rd · 123 m | Dec 2023 · 3 days | 18,062 | 46 km/h | 58 km/h | 63 km/h |
| Gordon Baker Rd · Victoria Park Ave – Pharmacy Ave · 211 m | Sep 2009 · 3 days | 4,928 | — | — | — |
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

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jun 25, 2026. 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 Hillcrest Village.
