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

Within a kilometre there are three RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 147 rental units. The nearest is 153 Ranleigh Ave (691 m, 32 units, 4 storeys, built 1950), which scored 94 out of 100 at its October 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation.

The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 1 final order naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 5 fire-code violations are open across them.

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, Oct 15, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 9,162 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 1 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (46 of 83). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,630 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,628 from 3:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
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 Lawrence Ave E between Ronan Ave and Wanless Cres, 287 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2021 put the average speed at 57 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 65 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 71 km/h or more. That segment carries about 21,000 vehicles a day. Wanless Cres between Rothmere Dr and Wanless Ave measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Oct 2002). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wanless Cres · Rothmere Dr – Wanless Ave · 166 m | Oct 2002 · 24 h | 1,128 | 37 km/h | 43 km/h | 47 km/h |
| Wanless Ave · Kappele Ave – Wanless Cres · 258 m | Sep 2005 · 24 h | 1,264 | 29 km/h | 37 km/h | 43 km/h |
| Lawrence Ave E · Ronan Ave – Wanless Cres · 287 m | Nov 2021 · 3 days | 21,009 | 57 km/h | 65 km/h | 71 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.

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
