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.

Emergency services
The nearest fire hall is Fire Station 245 (1.0 km), the nearest police station 33 Division (4.2 km) and the nearest ambulance station 3.1 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: 141 m away, ≈1,234 spaces; 155 m away, ≈315 spaces; 166 m away, ≈876 spaces; 260 m away, ≈67 spaces; 263 m away, ≈152 spaces; 270 m away, ≈112 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 16, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 11,982 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 717. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,157 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,356 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.3% 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 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
The City's counter on Warden Ave between Sylla Ave and Lupin Dr (288 m away) recorded an average of 55 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 66 km/h. That segment carries about 33,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Warden Ave · Sylla Ave – Lupin Dr · 288 m | Apr 2017 · 24 h | 33,891 | 55 km/h | 66 km/h | 73 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
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 32 collisions. 15% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 22 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 22 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 14, 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
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Oct 7, 2023.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #1439 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 1 | #838 of 879 |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 1 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 1 | latest Oct 7, 2023 |
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 nine thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 44% of the vehicle thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 9 | 3 | 0 | commercial premises (4), street/outdoor (4) |
| Bicycle theft | 0 | 0 | 0 | — |
Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Aug 13, 2024. 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 Wexford/Maryvale.
