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.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 67 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 8,498 rental units, 2.9× the median for a Toronto intersection — five social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 418 Dawes Rd (72 m, 49 units, 5 storeys, built 1970), which scored 90 out of 100 at its September 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. Two buildings of the 67 scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 265 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 105 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, Feb 13, 2020
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,159 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 461 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,052 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 903 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 13.0% 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 7 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 Dawes Rd between Donora Dr and Chapman Ave, 25 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in May 2003 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 14,900 vehicles a day. Chapman Ave between George Webster Park Trl and Avis Cres measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Oct 2019). The reading is 23 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Chapman Ave (123 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.3% of the 37,517 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dawes Rd · Donora Dr – Chapman Ave · 25 m | May 2003 · 24 h | 14,942 | 44 km/h | 53 km/h | 58 km/h |
| Chapman Ave · George Webster Park Trl – Avis Cres · 309 m | Oct 2019 · 2 days | 1,182 | 36 km/h | 44 km/h | 49 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 123 m
Chapman Ave (westbound), 50 Chapman Avenue · 37,517 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 2019, with 11 collisions; 2025 recorded 5. 10 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.
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
17 thefts from vehicles and seven bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 4.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 2.9 a year before that. 65% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 43% of the bike thefts were from other premises. Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 17, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jun 17, 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.
