Around the corner
Food premises, public washrooms, child care and emergency services — distances are straight-line from the node

Toronto Public Health inspects 40 eating places within 300 m of this corner, plus 3 grocery and convenience stores; within a kilometre the count is 252 — 3.5× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is Phoenix Restaurant (Pho Phuong Hoang), 166 m away, which passed its last DineSafe inspection in May 2026.

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.
Washrooms & water
The nearest public washroom is Macgregor Playground Washroom, 462 m away — currently listed as closed (maintenance/repairs); in season it is open 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. A drinking fountain is 444 m away at Macgregor Playground.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 29 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 2,323 rental units — five social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 128 Sheridan Ave (215 m, 68 units, 7 storeys, built 1966), which scored 90 out of 100 at its September 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. Two buildings of the 29 scored below 70; the average is 84, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 65 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 18 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, Oct 1, 2020
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,223 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 582 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 1,210 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 943 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 11.7% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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
On Brock Ave between Chesley Ave and Lane 2 N of College and W of Brock, 306 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 31 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 44 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Brock Ave (63 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 72,657 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Brock Avenue between Dundas St W and College St, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

| Brock Ave · Chesley Ave – Lane 2 N of College and W of Brock · 306 m | Jun 2022 · 7 days | 2,816 | 31 km/h | 39 km/h | 44 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 7 collisions. 6 collisions (11%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (11%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 13, 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
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here, the latest on May 7, 2026. 1 older KSI collision is on file from before 2016.
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |

| All KSI collisions | 0 | |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 0 | |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |

| Since January 2026 (outside the window) | 1 | latest May 7, 2026 |
| All KSI since 2006 | 2 | latest May 7, 2026 |
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
