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.

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, Nov 5, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,741 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 867 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (69 of 154). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,590 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,602 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 22 months 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 Castlefield Ave between Fairbank Ave and Miranda Ave, 291 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2009 put the average speed at 47 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 14,500 vehicles a day. Ronald Ave between Bowie Ave and Schell Ave measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Oct 2007). The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ronald Ave · Bowie Ave – Schell Ave · 265 m | Oct 2007 · 24 h | 2,502 | 37 km/h | 44 km/h | 49 km/h |
| Castlefield Ave · Fairbank Ave – Miranda Ave · 291 m | Nov 2009 · 24 h | 14,460 | 47 km/h | 54 km/h | 59 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 2022, with 9 collisions; 2025 recorded 6. 5 collisions (7%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 12 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), a low share for a Toronto intersection.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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 Apr 9, 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.
