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
17 registered apartment buildings with 2,114 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 13 of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 99 Lake Shore Blvd E (215 m, 205 units, 11 storeys, built 2023), which scored 98 out of 100 at its June 2026 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 — 14-hour, Jan 22, 2026
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 6,918 westbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,345. Most cyclists arrived from the west (401 of 581). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,343 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,424 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.7% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.
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 Lower Jarvis St between Lakeshore W and Wilton St (377 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 40 km/h. That segment carries about 23,600 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Queens Quay E · Lower Jarvis St – Richardson St · 50 m | Dec 2009 · 3 days | 6,277 | — | — | — |
| Lower Jarvis St · Lakeshore W – Wilton St · 377 m | Apr 2025 · 3 days | 23,560 | 30 km/h | 40 km/h | 45 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 (17 collisions), and 2025 closed with 15. 9% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 25 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 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 5, 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 Jul 4, 2013.
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 12 thefts from vehicles and 26 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 6.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 17 in 2023–2025, about 5.7 a year, against 3.0 a year before that. 83% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 58% of the bike thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Feb 5, 2026.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 12 | 3 | 0 | street/outdoor (10), commercial premises (2) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Feb 5, 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.
