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.
Washrooms & water
The nearest public washroom is the automated public toilet at 1 Strachan Ave, 392 m away, open around the clock; it is wheelchair-accessible. A drinking fountain is 167 m away at Bill Johnston Park.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
15 registered apartment buildings with 3,551 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, six of them social or Toronto Community Housing.

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, Apr 13, 2022
The east leg carries the load — 2,934 westbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 146. Most cyclists arrived from the east (196 of 367). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 975 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 39% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (699). Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 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 East Liberty St between Liberty Village Park Trl and Lynn Williams St (387 m away) recorded an average of 34 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 6,500 vehicles a day. Western Battery Rd between Gateway Park Trl and Pirandello St measured slower: 24 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 33 km/h (Mar 2026). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Western Battery Road between East Liberty St and Pirandello St.

Traffic calming

3 speed humps
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

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 23 thefts from vehicles and 28 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 8.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

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.
