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
One registered apartment building with 145 rental units stands within a kilometre of the corner, it is social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 23. The nearest is 1680 Ellesmere Rd (83 m, 145 units, 8 storeys, built 1994), which scored 98 out of 100 at its September 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation.

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, Dec 17, 2022 (a weekend day)
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 5,621 eastbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 922. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,250 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 166% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (846). Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 Ellesmere Rd between Grangeway Ave and Parkington Cres (107 m away) recorded an average of 60 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 70 km/h. That segment carries about 24,200 vehicles a day. Grangeway Ave between Ellesmere Rd and Bushby Dr measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 46 km/h (Jun 2024). 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ellesmere Rd · Grangeway Ave – Parkington Cres · 107 m | Oct 2017 · 24 h | 24,177 | 60 km/h | 70 km/h | 76 km/h |
| Grangeway Ave · Ellesmere Rd – Bushby Dr · 130 m | Jun 2024 · 3 days | 5,920 | 39 km/h | 46 km/h | 50 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

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 six thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 50% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Feb 27, 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 Woburn North.
