The nearest is Akira Back, 1 m away, which passed its last DineSafe inspection in August 2026 with 1 infraction noted.

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
31 registered apartment buildings with 4,680 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 16 of them social or Toronto Community Housing.

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 — 14-hour, Sep 10, 2025
The south leg carries the load — 2,999 northbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 755. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 622 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 30% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (480). Trucks and buses were 5.7% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
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 Blue Jays Way between Front St W and Lane S of Wellington and E of Blue Jays Way (252 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 8,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Peter St · King St W – Lane N of King and E of Peter · 28 m | Dec 2011 · 3 days | 6,447 | — | — | — |
| Blue Jays Way · Front St W – Lane S of Wellington and E of Blue Jays Way · 252 m | Jun 2022 · 7 days | 8,182 | 32 km/h | 42 km/h | 48 km/h |
| King St W · Spadina Ave – Brant St · 337 m | Nov 2015 · 7 days | 20,065 | — | — | — |
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
2017 was the peak year (18 collisions), and 2025 closed with 11. 12% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 16 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 9% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 24, 2026.

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. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jul 13, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #1053 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 0 | |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 4 | latest Jul 13, 2024 |
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 24 thefts from vehicles and 15 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 6.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 19 in 2023–2025, about 6.3 a year, against 2.9 a year before that. 58% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 40% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Mar 24, 2026.
By year

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Mar 24, 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.
