Toronto Public Health inspects 103 eating places within 300 m of this corner, plus 13 grocery and convenience stores; within a kilometre the count is 353 — 4.8× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is Druxy's, 6 m away, which passed its last DineSafe inspection in August 2026.

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 Grange Park North Washroom, 395 m away — currently listed as closed (maintenance/repairs); in season it is open 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., and it is wheelchair-accessible. A drinking fountain is 414 m away at Grange Park.

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, Oct 17, 1995
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,671 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 55% of the total, against 1,016 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (114 of 158). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 910 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 865 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 31 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1995, 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 Murray St between Elm St and Orde St, 129 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2026 put the average speed at 19 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 29 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 34 km/h or more. That segment carries about 5,200 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on St. Patrick St (262 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 35,769 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Murray St · Elm St – Orde St · 129 m | May 2026 · 3 days | 5,182 | 19 km/h | 29 km/h | 34 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 262 m
St. Patrick St, 132, St. Patrick Street · 35,769 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 worst year was 2019, with 19 collisions; 2025 recorded 8. 5 collisions (5%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 32 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 29% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 7 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 14, 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
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on May 13, 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
187 thefts from vehicles and 50 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 40× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 22 in 2023–2025, about 7.3 a year, against 30.7 a year before that. 97% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 36% of the bike thefts were from other premises. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Feb 6, 2026.

| Theft from a vehicle | 187 | 8 | 1 | street/outdoor (182), commercial premises (2) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Feb 6, 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.
