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
32 registered apartment buildings with 4,496 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 17 of them social or Toronto Community Housing.

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, Jul 7, 2026
The west leg carries the load — 8,264 eastbound vehicles, or 96% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1. Most cyclists arrived from the west (2,100 of 3,233). Morning rush is the busier period: 789 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 705 from 6:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. 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 Adelaide St W between Bathurst St and Joseph Salsberg Lane (275 m away) recorded an average of 23 km/h in its 3-day count in July 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 33 km/h. That segment carries about 1,200 vehicles a day. Adelaide Pl measured slower: 12 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 21 km/h (Nov 2022).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adelaide Pl · 108 m | Nov 2022 · 3 days | 150 | 12 km/h | 21 km/h | 25 km/h |
| Portland St · Stewart St – Lane S of King and W of Portland · 211 m | Jul 2025 · 3 days | 6,469 | 16 km/h | 25 km/h | 30 km/h |
| Adelaide St W · Bathurst St – Joseph Salsberg Lane · 275 m | Jul 2024 · 3 days | 1,179 | 23 km/h | 33 km/h | 37 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
2019 was the peak year (21 collisions), and 2025 closed with 13. 12% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 21 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 8% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 15 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 25, 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
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 cyclist was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Jul 2, 2022.
By year

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 1 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 2 | latest Jul 2, 2022 |
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 ten thefts from vehicles and 13 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 2.3 a year. 70% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 62% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Sep 28, 2025. 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.
