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.

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 8, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 6,475 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 30% of the total, against 2,659 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (196 of 372). Evening rush dominates here: 2,028 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,872 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% 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 Gerrard St E between Main St and Lane E of Main St and S of Gerrard, 25 m from the corner, a 3-day count in January 2023 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 12,000 vehicles a day. Main St between Benlamond Ave and Swanwick Ave measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (May 2026). At the school-zone speed sign on Main St (91 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.6% of the 155,484 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

| Gerrard St E · Main St – Lane E of Main St and S of Gerrard · 25 m | Jan 2023 · 3 days | 11,986 | 37 km/h | 45 km/h | 50 km/h |

School-zone speed sign 91 m
Main St (southbound), 136 Main Street · 155,484 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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
The worst year was 2019, with 31 collisions; 2025 recorded 22. 18 collisions (8%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 18 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 22 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
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 cyclist were among those hurt. The most recent was on Mar 6, 2020.
By year

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
Three thefts from vehicles and two bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 13, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jun 13, 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.
