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
24 registered apartment buildings with 1,331 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 14 of them social or Toronto Community Housing.

The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 11 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 25 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.
Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking
| Green P car park | Distance | Spaces | Peak occupancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Transit Road Lot - 25 Transit Rd · Surface | 1.8 km | 72 * | — |
| Wilson South Lot - 30 Tippett Road · Surface | 1.8 km | 645 * | — |
Nearest lots: 20 m away, ≈17 spaces; 40 m away, ≈27 spaces; 45 m away, ≈51 spaces; 90 m away, ≈8 spaces; 100 m away, ≈31 spaces; 120 m away, ≈61 spaces.
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, Apr 11, 2016
The north leg carries the load — 9,132 southbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 40. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,209 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,376 from 2:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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
The City's counter on Samor Rd between Dufferin St and Dufflaw Rd (288 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 24-hour count in January 2010; 85% of drivers were at or under 51 km/h. That segment carries about 2,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 16 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Samor Rd · Dufferin St – Dufflaw Rd · 288 m | Jan 2010 · 24 h | 2,152 | 40 km/h | 51 km/h | 57 km/h |
| Dufferin St · Lawrence Ave W – Dane Ave · 353 m | Jul 2017 · 2 days | 16,945 | — | — | — |
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 18 collisions. 9% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 16 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%.

The most recent report on file is from Jun 19, 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
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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
Toronto Police place three thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 3 | 2 | 0 | street/outdoor (1), commercial premises (1) |
| Bicycle theft | 0 | 0 | 0 | — |
Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through May 10, 2023. 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 Yorkdale-Glen Park.
