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
73 registered apartment buildings with 5,836 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, seven of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 3.2× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 100 Spadina Rd (137 m, 216 units, 23 storeys, built 1969), which scored 79 out of 100 at its August 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. Three buildings of the 73 scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 109 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 54 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 — 8-hour, Apr 14, 2005
Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 1,085 vehicles entering from the east to 1,238 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the west (117 of 246). Morning rush is the busier period: 467 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:30 a.m., compared with 315 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 9.3% 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 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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 counter on Madison Ave between Lowther Ave and Bernard Ave (185 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 24-hour count in May 2013; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. Bernard Ave between Gwen Egan Lane and Madison Ave measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (May 2019). The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Huron St (299 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 29,792 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bernard Ave · Gwen Egan Lane – Madison Ave · 24 m | May 2019 · 3 days | 5,406 | 27 km/h | 34 km/h | 37 km/h |
| Madison Ave · Lowther Ave – Bernard Ave · 185 m | May 2013 · 24 h | 484 | 32 km/h | 42 km/h | 49 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 299 m
Huron St (northbound), 521 Huron Street · 29,792 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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
Toronto Police place nine thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft 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. 78% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |

| Theft from a vehicle | 9 | 2 | 0 | street/outdoor (7), apartment parking (1) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Dec 14, 2023. 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 Annex.
