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 Dufferin Grove Sports Field Washroom, 476 m away, open 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.; it is wheelchair-accessible. A drinking fountain is 317 m away at Dufferin Grove Park.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 34 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 2,924 rental units — four social or Toronto Community Housing.

Four buildings of the 34 scored below 70; the average is 83, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 89 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, Dec 14, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 4,065 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 326 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (152 of 355). Evening rush dominates here: 1,204 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,017 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% 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 Gladstone Ave between Lane N of College and W of Gladstone and Lindsey Ave, 80 m from the corner, a 7-day count in September 2025 put the average speed at 15 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 23 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 27 km/h or more. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Gladstone Avenue between College St and Sylvan Ave.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gladstone Ave · Lane N of College and W of Gladstone – Lindsey Ave · 80 m | Sep 2025 · 7 days | 936 | 15 km/h | 23 km/h | 27 km/h |
Traffic calming
- Gladstone Avenue · College St – Sylvan Ave
2 speed humps
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 2017, with 11 collisions; 2025 recorded 7. 9 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 11 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (10%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Apr 18, 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 Sep 2, 2010.
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
Eight thefts from vehicles and 14 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 3.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 9 in 2023–2025, about 3.0 a year, against 1.9 a year before that. 88% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 43% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through May 16, 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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Little Portugal.
