Around the corner
Food premises, public washrooms, child care and emergency services — distances are straight-line from the node
Restaurants & food
Toronto Public Health inspects 30 eating places within 300 m of this corner, plus 4 grocery and convenience stores; within a kilometre the count is 356 — 4.9× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is Gerrard Early Learning Centre, 60 m away, which passed its last DineSafe inspection in June 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.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 163 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 20,442 rental units, 7.1× the median for a Toronto intersection — 54 social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 368 George St (103 m, 16 units, 3 storeys, built 1939), which scored 87 out of 100 at its June 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. Three buildings of the 163 scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 470 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 146 fire-code violations are open across them.

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, Sep 19, 2018
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,467 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 54% of the total, against 52 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (837 of 1,430). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 913 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 9% above the afternoon peak from 4:15 p.m. (841). Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% 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 Gerrard St E between Church St and Mutual St, 247 m from the corner, a 14-day count in August 2026 put the average speed at 27 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 37 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 42 km/h or more. That segment carries about 16,900 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gerrard St E · Church St – Mutual St · 247 m | Aug 2026 · 14 days | 16,888 | 27 km/h | 37 km/h | 42 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
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 5 collisions. 6 collisions (25%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 21% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (17%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. The most recent report on file is from Oct 23, 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
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 cyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jul 13, 2021. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #951 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 0 | |
| Involving a cyclist | 1 | #144 of 271 |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 2 | latest Jul 13, 2021 |
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
15 thefts from vehicles and seven bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 3.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 2.6 a year before that. 73% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 29% of the bike thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Mar 9, 2026.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 15 | 3 | 1 | street/outdoor (11), other (2) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Mar 9, 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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Moss Park.
