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.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Five registered apartment buildings with 1,112 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner — well below the median of 23. The nearest is 5294 Dundas St W (198 m, 45 units, 7 storeys, built 1960), which scored 92 out of 100 at its June 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 98, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 17 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 16 fire-code violations are open across them.

The City's RentSafeTO register — rental apartment buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units — with the score from each building's latest City evaluation (out of 100; poor scores trigger a full audit). LTB orders are final Landlord and Tenant Board orders naming the address (Jan 2026 – Jun 2026); fire-code violations are open items in Toronto Fire Services' inspection data. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport. Condominiums and houses are not registered.

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, Oct 27, 2021
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 236 northbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 44. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 77 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 38% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (56). Heavy vehicles made up 0.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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 Acorn Ave between Montesson St and Lane N of Dundas and W of Acorn (69 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 24-hour count in August 2012; 85% of drivers were at or under 51 km/h. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acorn Ave · Montesson St – Lane N of Dundas and W of Acorn · 69 m | Aug 2012 · 24 h | 855 | 41 km/h | 51 km/h | 57 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
2020 was the peak year (1 collision), and 2025 closed with 0. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Oct 17, 2020.

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. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.
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 two thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025.
