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.

The nearest public washroom is Macgregor Playground Washroom, 288 m away — currently listed as closed (maintenance/repairs); in season it is open 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. A drinking fountain is 179 m away at Sorauren Avenue Park.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
24 registered apartment buildings with 1,924 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, five of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 301 Lansdowne Ave (292 m, 35 units, 5 storeys, built 1932), which scored 26 out of 100 at its July 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 24 scored below 70; the average is 86, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 48 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 19 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, Mar 2, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 5,468 westbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 658. Most cyclists arrived from the west (127 of 255). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,856 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 26% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,469). Trucks and buses were 8.3% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. 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
The City's counter on Sterling Rd between Dundas St W and Perth Ave (321 m away) recorded an average of 43 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 53 km/h. That segment carries about 3,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Lansdowne Ave (257 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 16,574 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |

| Dundas St W · Columbus Parkette Trl – Parkway Ave · 276 m | Aug 2015 · 3 days | 21,912 | — | — | — |
| Sterling Rd · Dundas St W – Perth Ave · 321 m | May 2017 · 3 days | 3,469 | 43 km/h | 53 km/h | 59 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 257 m
Lansdowne Ave (northbound), 353/355 Lansdowne Ave · 16,574 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
2024 was the peak year (14 collisions), and 2025 closed with 7. 18% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

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 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Sep 30, 2016. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |

| All KSI since 2006 | 2 | latest Sep 30, 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.
