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 47 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 8,331 rental units, 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection — 11 social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 100 Goodwood Park Crt (215 m, 102 units, 5 storeys, built 1956), which scored 97 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 93, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 204 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 104 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, Feb 10, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,258 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 1,192 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 996 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 886 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 8.7% 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 5 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 Dawes Rd between Coleman Ave and Balfour Ave, 304 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2009 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 10,500 vehicles a day. Secord Ave between Palmer Ave and Eastdale Ave measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Apr 2022). The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Palmer St. (300 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.5% of the 7,536 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Secord Ave · Palmer Ave – Eastdale Ave · 262 m | Apr 2022 · 3 days | 3,793 | 31 km/h | 38 km/h | 43 km/h |
| Dawes Rd · Coleman Ave – Balfour Ave · 304 m | Oct 2009 · 24 h | 10,542 | 43 km/h | 50 km/h | 54 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 300 m
Palmer St. (southbound), 101 Barrington Avenue · 7,536 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 6 collisions. 10 collisions (24%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 8 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (20%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Mar 27, 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
One collision in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Feb 18, 2016.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |

| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 1 | latest Feb 18, 2016 |
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 one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 50% of the vehicle thefts were from house driveways and garages.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Mar 30, 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.
