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.

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, Mar 2, 2019 (a weekend day)
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 2,270 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 497 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 726 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 487 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.1% 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 was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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
On Queen St E between Pape Ave and Winnifred Ave, 118 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2004 put the average speed at 32 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 42 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 46 km/h or more. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. Pape Ave between Brighton Ave and Audley Ave measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Jun 2011). The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Carlaw Ave (216 m away, 30 km/h limit), 20% of the 96,853 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

Carlaw Ave (southbound), 180 Carlaw Avenue · 96,853 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.

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

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.
