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
Within a kilometre there is one RentSafeTO-registered apartment building — 145 rental units — it is social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1680 Ellesmere Rd (359 m, 145 units, 8 storeys, built 1994), which scored 98 out of 100 at its September 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation.

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 29, 2015
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 9,518 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 766 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,630 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,790 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 10.8% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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 McCowan Rd between Triton Rd and McCowan Rd S (50 m away, Apr 2013) recorded volume only — about 21,005 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| McCowan Rd · Triton Rd – McCowan Rd S · 50 m | Apr 2013 · 3 days | 21,005 | — | — | — |
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 23 collisions; 2025 recorded 16. 25 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 5% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (1%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 11 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 29, 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
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Aug 20, 2007.
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.
