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 1,149 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, two of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 23.

None scored below 70; the average is 98, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 32 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 1 fire-code violation is 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, Feb 15, 2018
The north leg carries the load — 4,199 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 118. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,468 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 12% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,309). Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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 Willowdale Ave between Norton Ave and McKee Ave (149 m away) recorded an average of 48 km/h in its 3-day count in February 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 55 km/h. That segment carries about 9,700 vehicles a day. Church Ave between Kenneth Ave and Dudley Ave measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Sep 2010). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Byng Ave C (350 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.5% of the 14,913 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Willowdale Ave · Norton Ave – McKee Ave · 149 m | Feb 2020 · 3 days | 9,685 | 48 km/h | 55 km/h | 59 km/h |
| Church Ave · Kenneth Ave – Dudley Ave · 329 m | Sep 2010 · 24 h | 5,152 | 39 km/h | 47 km/h | 52 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 350 m
Byng Ave C (westbound), 144 Byng Avenue · 14,913 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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.

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 cyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Sep 21, 2025.

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.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jul 11, 2023.
