No restaurant or café sits within 300 m of the corner; 8 eating places are within a kilometre — well below the median of 73 within a kilometre. The nearest is Lakeview Lifecare Centre, 636 m away, which passed its last DineSafe inspection in August 2026 with 1 infraction noted.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Four registered apartment buildings with 289 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 23. The nearest is 1 Claude Ave (616 m, 30 units, 3 storeys, built 1960), which scored 97 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 93, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 3 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 2 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, Dec 3, 2014
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 25,911 eastbound vehicles, or 70% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,229. Most cyclists arrived from the west (94 of 176). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 5,958 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 12% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (5,312). Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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 most recent midblock count on Lake Shore Blvd W between Parkside Dr S and Colborne Lodge Dr (156 m away, May 2011) recorded volume only — about 24,515 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lake Shore Blvd W · Parkside Dr S – Colborne Lodge Dr · 156 m | May 2011 · 24 h | 24,515 | — | — | — |
| Colborne Lodge Dr · The Queensway – High Park Trl · 187 m | Jun 2021 · 3 days | 1,234 | — | — | — |
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
2018 was the peak year (30 collisions), and 2025 closed with 25. 11% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 14 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 7% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 1% 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 26, 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 was fatal. 1 cyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on May 15, 2018. Going back to 2006, the total is 2. The police all-collisions file records 2 fatal collisions here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places one of them just outside the 65 m radius.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #565 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 1 | #194 of 319 |
| Involving a pedestrian | 0 | |
| Involving a cyclist | 1 | #38 of 271 |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 2 | latest May 15, 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 22, 2022. 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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see South Parkdale.
