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
Nearest lots: 37 m away, ≈89 spaces; 58 m away, ≈97 spaces; 93 m away, ≈110 spaces; 115 m away, ≈5 spaces; 124 m away, ≈5 spaces; 160 m away, ≈100 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, Jun 17, 2025
The east leg carries the load — 17,353 westbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 92. Most cyclists arrived from the east (41 of 74). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,054 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,193 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 15 months 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
The City's counter on Beechgrove Dr between Minnacote Ave and Flerimac Rd (222 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 3-day count in July 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 2,400 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kingston Rd · Beechgrove Dr – Hwy 2a E · 17 m | Oct 2013 · 24 h | 19,830 | — | — | — |
| Beechgrove Dr · Minnacote Ave – Flerimac Rd · 222 m | Jul 2024 · 3 days | 2,447 | 41 km/h | 49 km/h | 54 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
2024 was the peak year (16 collisions), and 2025 closed with 11. 23% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 19 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 22% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%.

The most recent report on file is from Jun 4, 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. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Mar 18, 2020. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.
By year

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |

| All KSI since 2006 | 2 | latest Mar 18, 2020 |
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 ten thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 1.1 a year before that. 70% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jun 19, 2024. 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 West Hill.
