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
24 registered apartment buildings with 3,767 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 12 of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 798 Richmond St W (97 m, 525 units, 13 storeys, built 1970), which scored 89 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 24 scored below 70; the average is 87, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 44 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 9 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 — 14-hour, Jul 23, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 6,943 westbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 1,964. Most cyclists arrived from the west (1,199 of 2,947). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,394 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,274). Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
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 Niagara St between Stanley Ave and Adelaide St W (273 m away) recorded an average of 27 km/h in its 14-day count in September 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 35 km/h. That segment carries about 3,400 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Queen St W · Gore Vale Ave – Strachan Ave · 201 m | Nov 2015 · 7 days | 20,724 | — | — | — |
| Niagara St · Stanley Ave – Adelaide St W · 273 m | Sep 2025 · 14 days | 3,432 | 27 km/h | 35 km/h | 40 km/h |
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
2019 was the peak year (15 collisions), and 2025 closed with 7. 13% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 18 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 22% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 13% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jan 22, 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. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on May 16, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 2 | #413 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 1 | #726 of 879 |

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 1 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 4 | latest May 16, 2024 |
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 one theft from a vehicle and five bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 80% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Aug 2, 2022. 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 Trinity-Bellwoods.
