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
Within a kilometre there are eight RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 2,190 rental units — two social or Toronto Community Housing.

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).

Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Sep 19, 2018
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 299 and 356 vehicles. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 159 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 27% above the afternoon peak from 4:15 p.m. (125). Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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
On Canterbury Pl between Ellerslie Ave and Churchill Ave, 103 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in February 2004 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 51 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,500 vehicles a day. Ellerslie Ave between Canterbury Pl and Beecroft Rd measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Feb 2004). The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on McKee Ave (368 m away, 30 km/h limit), 2.1% of the 3,503 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

| Ellerslie Ave · Canterbury Pl – Beecroft Rd · 54 m | Feb 2004 · 24 h | 4,074 | 36 km/h | 44 km/h | 48 km/h |

McKee Ave (eastbound), 65 McKee Avenue · 3,503 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
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 6 collisions. 3 collisions (8%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 24% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Feb 8, 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
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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
19 thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 3.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 2.0 a year. 74% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Feb 10, 2026.

| Theft from a vehicle | 19 | 6 | 1 | street/outdoor (14), apartment parking (2) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Feb 10, 2026. 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.
