The nearest is Muse Bistro & Bar, 70 m away, which passed its last DineSafe inspection in April 2026 with 4 infractions noted.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 104 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 12,729 rental units, 4.5× the median for a Toronto intersection — 61 social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 90 Shuter St (123 m, 77 units, 10 storeys, built 1983), which scored 92 out of 100 at its June 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 104 scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 186 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 74 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, Nov 4, 2021
No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 2,200 and 2,482 vehicles. Most cyclists arrived from the east (246 of 438). Evening rush dominates here: 685 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 607 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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 George St between Adelaide St E and Richmond St E, 394 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2017 put the average speed at 26 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 37 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 43 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shuter St · Jarvis St – Walnut Hall Pl · 70 m | Mar 2021 · 7 days | 3,046 | — | — | — |
| George St · Adelaide St E – Richmond St E · 394 m | Apr 2017 · 3 days | 2,841 | 26 km/h | 37 km/h | 43 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.
All police-reported collisions

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
33 thefts from vehicles and eight bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 6.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 4.1 a year. 94% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 75% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 33 | 10 | 0 | street/outdoor (31), apartment parking (1) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Nov 12, 2025. 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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Moss Park.
