Around the corner
Food premises, public washrooms, child care and emergency services — distances are straight-line from the node

The nearest is St Roch Catholic Scool, 203 m away, which passed its last DineSafe inspection in May 2025.

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 four RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 450 rental units — one social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 50 Pearldale Ave (735 m, 96 units, 7 storeys, built 1965), which scored 88 out of 100 at its August 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 93, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. No Landlord and Tenant Board order named any of them in the latest half-year of its catalogue.

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.
Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking
| Green P car park | Distance | Spaces | Peak occupancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14 Barkwin Dr · Surface | 1.8 km | 23 | 20% (Q1 2026) |
Nearest lots: 37 m away, ≈31 spaces; 81 m away, ≈18 spaces; 106 m away, ≈31 spaces; 125 m away, ≈78 spaces; 127 m away, ≈61 spaces; 210 m away, ≈147 spaces.
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, Apr 29, 2014
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 5,826 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 412 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,223 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,926 in the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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 Rowntree Mill Rd between Islington Ave and Walby Dr, 72 m from the corner, a 2-day count in April 2013 put the average speed at 41 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,600 vehicles a day. Duncanwoods Dr between Benrubin Dr and Navenby Cres measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Jul 2022). The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rowntree Mill Rd · Islington Ave – Walby Dr · 72 m | Apr 2013 · 2 days | 1,592 | 41 km/h | 49 km/h | 53 km/h |
| Islington Ave · Rowntree Mill Rd – Ayr Cres · 87 m | Dec 2011 · 3 days | 12,268 | — | — | — |
| Duncanwoods Dr · Benrubin Dr – Navenby Cres · 334 m | Jul 2022 · 24 h | 3,018 | 33 km/h | 40 km/h | 44 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
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
11 thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 1.0 a year before that. 55% of the vehicle thefts were from other premises.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Feb 14, 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 Humber Summit.
