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
Within a kilometre there are 133 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 17,810 rental units, 5.8× the median for a Toronto intersection — 53 social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 531-535 Parliament St (153 m, 17 units, 3 storeys, built 1888), which scored 90 out of 100 at its October 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. Three buildings of the 133 scored below 70; the average is 87, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 423 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 108 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 — 14-hour, Jun 19, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,456 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 3,812 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,227 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,247 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
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 Parliament St between Prospect St and Amelia St, 335 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2017 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 14,500 vehicles a day. Carlton St between Sherbourne St and Central Hospital Lane measured slower: 18 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 29 km/h (Jan 2005). 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parliament St · Prospect St – Amelia St · 335 m | Jun 2017 · 3 days | 14,504 | 37 km/h | 47 km/h | 53 km/h |
| Carlton St · Sherbourne St – Central Hospital Lane · 358 m | Jan 2005 · 24 h | 108 | 18 km/h | 29 km/h | 33 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 worst year was 2018, with 26 collisions; 2025 recorded 18. 27 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 27 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 19 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (11%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 5, 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 Feb 3, 2018. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #764 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 1 | #422 of 879 |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 1 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 4 | latest Feb 3, 2018 |
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 Jul 23, 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.
