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 nearest public washroom is Fred Hamilton Playground Washroom, 492 m away, open 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.; it is wheelchair-accessible. A drinking fountain is 373 m away at 150 Harrison Street Park.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 35 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 2,199 rental units — six social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 410 Dovercourt Rd (71 m, 13 units, 3 storeys, built 1930), which scored 90 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. Three buildings of the 35 scored below 70; the average is 85, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 51 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 3 fire-code violations are open across them.

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 14, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 4,673 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 1,524 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (172 of 422). Evening rush dominates here: 1,776 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,403 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 Dovercourt Rd between Harrison St and Churchill Ave, 320 m from the corner, a 7-day count in September 2025 put the average speed at 28 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 35 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 39 km/h or more. That segment carries about 6,700 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Concord Ave (238 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 32,260 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dovercourt Rd · Harrison St – Churchill Ave · 320 m | Sep 2025 · 7 days | 6,694 | 28 km/h | 35 km/h | 39 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 238 m
Concord Ave (northbound), 31 Concord Avenue · 32,260 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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
The worst year was 2024, with 31 collisions; 2025 recorded 18. 30 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 38 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 21% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 26 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (15%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. 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
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Mar 30, 2011.
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
Four thefts from vehicles and 15 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 3.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 10 in 2023–2025, about 3.3 a year, against 1.3 a year before that. 47% of the bike thefts were from other premises.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jul 21, 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.
