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
32 registered apartment buildings with 2,735 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, four of them social or Toronto Community Housing.

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, Feb 10, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 5,970 northbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,753. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,930 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,987 from 5:00 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 Parkside Dr between Geoffrey St and Grenadier Rd (181 m away) recorded an average of 51 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 60 km/h. That segment carries about 28,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Ward 4 - S9 (400 m away, 40 km/h limit), 21% of the 76,091 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parkside Dr · Geoffrey St – Grenadier Rd · 181 m | Apr 2017 · 3 days | 28,524 | 51 km/h | 60 km/h | 66 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 400 m
Ward 4 - S9 (southbound), Opposite 457 Parkside Dr · 76,091 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
2018 was the peak year (19 collisions), and 2025 closed with 13. 17% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 5% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 13, 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
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Jul 8, 2019. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #1244 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 1 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 3 | latest Jul 8, 2019 |
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 four thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
