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.

Nearest station by straight line — not a response time, and not necessarily the station that would answer a call.
Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are three RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 611 rental units. The nearest is 20 Samuel Wood Way (473 m, 233 units, 21 storeys, built 2023), which scored 100 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 97, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 9 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue.
| Nearest buildings | Units | Storeys | Built | Score | LTB orders | Distance |

| 20 Samuel Wood Way · Concert Real Estate Corporation | 233 | 21 | 2023 | 100 · Aug 2026 | 4 | 473 m |

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, Feb 8, 2012
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 1,357 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 65 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 469 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 503 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2012, 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 Shaver Ave S between Statler Ave and Downing St, 212 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in April 2012 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 5,000 vehicles a day. Ovida Ave between Wilmar Rd and Shaver Ave S measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Jul 2011). The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ovida Ave · Wilmar Rd – Shaver Ave S · 147 m | Jul 2011 · 24 h | 445 | 29 km/h | 43 km/h | 49 km/h |
| Shaver Ave S · Statler Ave – Downing St · 212 m | Apr 2012 · 24 h | 5,028 | 44 km/h | 53 km/h | 58 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.

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.
Thefts reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Three thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Apr 27, 2021.
