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
No City washroom within 1 km.
Park washrooms, washrooms in City buildings and automated street toilets, with hours and status as the City publishes them (park washrooms are seasonal). Malls, shops and TTC stations are not included.

Emergency services

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Six registered apartment buildings with 119 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner — well below the median of 23. The nearest is 15 Wilmington Ave (402 m, 24 units, 3 storeys, built 1958), which scored 99 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm. No Landlord and Tenant Board order named any of them in the latest half-year of its catalogue.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Downsview Lot - 415 William R Allen Rd · Surface | 1.2 km | 632 * | — |
Nearest lots: 361 m away, ≈34 spaces; 406 m away, ≈54 spaces; 409 m away, ≈16 spaces; 410 m away, ≈198 spaces; 428 m away, ≈68 spaces; 434 m away, ≈172 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, Jun 29, 2017
The west leg carries the load — 114 eastbound vehicles, or 31% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 63. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 59 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 18% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (50). Trucks and buses were 14.1% 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 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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 Elder St between Searle Ave and Brighton Ave (137 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 24-hour count in March 2001; 85% of drivers were at or under 50 km/h. That segment carries about 400 vehicles a day. Waterloo Ave between Elder St and Wilmington Ave measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Jul 2004). The reading is 25 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Waterloo Ave · Elder St – Wilmington Ave · 97 m | Jul 2004 · 24 h | 349 | 37 km/h | 48 km/h | 53 km/h |
| Elder St · Searle Ave – Brighton Ave · 137 m | Mar 2001 · 24 h | 448 | 41 km/h | 50 km/h | 55 km/h |
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.

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 two thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025.
