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, 244 m away, open 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.; it is wheelchair-accessible. A drinking fountain is 141 m away at Fred Hamilton Playground.

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 — 1,853 rental units — six social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 805 College St (122 m, 72 units, 4 storeys, built 1929), which scored 92 out of 100 at its August 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 45 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, Sep 15, 2021
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,212 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 612 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 959 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,025 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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 Shaw St between Harrison St and Fred Hamilton Playground Trl, 318 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 26 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 33 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 38 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,400 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 Concord Ave (319 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shaw St · Harrison St – Fred Hamilton Playground Trl · 318 m | Jun 2022 · 7 days | 2,358 | 26 km/h | 33 km/h | 38 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 319 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 2018, with 16 collisions; 2025 recorded 7. 13 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 19 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 12 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (13%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 9, 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. 3 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Sep 29, 2014.
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
Seven thefts from vehicles and eight bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.5 a year. 43% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 50% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Apr 16, 2026.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 7 | 1 | 1 | street/outdoor (3), other (2) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Apr 16, 2026. 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 Trinity-Bellwoods.
