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.

No City washroom within 1 km.
Park washrooms, washrooms in City buildings and automated street toilets, with hours and status as the City publishes them (park washrooms are seasonal). Malls, shops and TTC stations are not included.

Emergency services
The nearest fire hall is Fire Station 346 (382 m), the nearest police station 14 Division (2.4 km) and the nearest ambulance station 412 m away.
Nearest station by straight line — not a response time, and not necessarily the station that would answer a call.
Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
15 registered apartment buildings with 1,261 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner.

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, Jan 24, 2018
The west leg carries the load — 15,566 eastbound vehicles, or 63% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 11. Most cyclists arrived from the west (149 of 153). Morning rush is the busier period: 4,535 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:30 a.m., compared with 3,717 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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 most recent midblock count on Ontario Dr between Lake Shore Blvd W and Prince Edward Island Cres (28 m away, Jun 1998) recorded volume only — about 2,369 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ontario Dr · Lake Shore Blvd W – Prince Edward Island Cres · 28 m | Jun 1998 · 2 days | 2,369 | — | — | — |
| Lake Shore Blvd W · Remembrance Dr – Aquatic Dr · 35 m | May 2011 · 24 h | 28,243 | — | — | — |
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
2022 was the peak year (36 collisions), and 2025 closed with 18. 22% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 25 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 cyclist and 2 motorcyclists were among those hurt. All of them happened in darkness (citywide, 39% of KSI collisions do). The most recent was on Jul 26, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 5.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 3 | #141 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 0 | |
| Involving a cyclist | 1 | #180 of 271 |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 2 | |
| In darkness | 3 | 100% here vs 39% citywide |
| All KSI since 2006 | 5 | latest Jul 26, 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.
