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
37 registered apartment buildings with 3,450 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 16 of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 164 Grange Ave (114 m, 24 units, 3 storeys, built 1970), which scored 71 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 37 scored below 70; the average is 86, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 47 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 11 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 — 14-hour, Oct 28, 2025
The east leg carries the load — 6,031 westbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 645. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,249 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,170 from 3:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% 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 Denison Ave between Carr St and Lane N of Carr and W of Denison (227 m away) recorded an average of 25 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 34 km/h. That segment carries about 1,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Denison Ave · Carr St – Lane N of Carr and W of Denison · 227 m | Jun 2022 · 7 days | 1,815 | 25 km/h | 34 km/h | 39 km/h |
| Dundas St W · Spadina Ave – Willison Pl · 306 m | Jan 2016 · 7 days | 6,557 | — | — | — |
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
2017 was the peak year (13 collisions), and 2025 closed with 4. 20% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 14 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 24% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 24% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Feb 18, 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 cyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Sep 20, 2020.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 1 | latest Sep 20, 2020 |
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 nine thefts from vehicles and six bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jun 13, 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.
