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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3950 Keele Street · Surface | 729 m | 335 * | — |
| 2800 Steeles Ave W. · Surface | 1.6 km | 1,881 * | — |
Nearest lots: 177 m away, ≈836 spaces; 309 m away, ≈2,428 spaces; 327 m away, ≈361 spaces; 360 m away, ≈2,089 spaces; 409 m away, ≈299 spaces; 493 m away, ≈258 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 — 14-hour, Mar 7, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 9,419 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 40% of the total, against 2,691 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 2,101 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 1,734 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.9% 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 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
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 Keele St between Murray Ross Pkwy and The Pond Rd, 265 m from the corner, a 2-day count in September 2019 put the average speed at 69 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 77 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 109 km/h or more. That segment carries about 29,700 vehicles a day. The Pond Rd between James Gillies St and Keele St measured slower: 49 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 57 km/h (May 2013). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Pond Rd · James Gillies St – Keele St · 150 m | May 2013 · 24 h | 6,306 | 49 km/h | 57 km/h | 63 km/h |
| Keele St · Murray Ross Pkwy – The Pond Rd · 265 m | Sep 2019 · 2 days | 29,701 | 69 km/h | 77 km/h | 109 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 worst year was 2023, with 77 collisions; 2025 recorded 26. 61 collisions (25%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 29 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection.

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
Four thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 4 | 2 | 0 | street/outdoor (2), commercial premises (2) |
| Bicycle theft | 1 | 0 | 0 | transit property (1) |
Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Oct 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 York University Heights.
