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 Fred Hamilton Playground Washroom, 261 m away, open 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.; it is wheelchair-accessible. A drinking fountain is 235 m away at Fred Hamilton Playground.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
34 registered apartment buildings with 2,105 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, seven of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 805 College St (86 m, 72 units, 4 storeys, built 1929), which scored 92 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. Three buildings of the 34 scored below 70; the average is 85, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 50 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 4 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 — 14-hour, Oct 15, 2025
The north leg carries the load — 6,126 southbound vehicles, or 31% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 4,093. Most cyclists arrived from the east (1,038 of 2,305). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,728 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,770 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
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 Ossington Ave between Lane 2 N of College and W of Ossington and Dewson St (207 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 15,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Concord Ave (146 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ossington Ave · Lane 2 N of College and W of Ossington – Dewson St · 207 m | Oct 2021 · 3 days | 15,669 | 45 km/h | 54 km/h | 59 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 146 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
2024 was the peak year (26 collisions), and 2025 closed with 21. 15% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 23 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

The most recent report on file is from Jun 28, 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
Of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 2 pedestrians and 1 cyclist were among those hurt. All happened in daylight or lit conditions (citywide, 39% of KSI collisions occur in darkness). The most recent was on Mar 4, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 3 | #64 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 1 | #77 of 319 |
| Involving a pedestrian | 2 | #62 of 879 |
| Involving a cyclist | 1 | #22 of 271 |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | 0% here vs 39% citywide |
| All KSI since 2006 | 4 | latest Mar 4, 2024 |
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
Toronto Police place no thefts from vehicles and six bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 50% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.
