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
25 registered apartment buildings with 1,037 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, six of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 300 Shaw St (109 m, 32 units, 3 storeys, built 1966), which scored 90 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. Two buildings of the 25 scored below 70; the average is 85, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 11 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 2 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 — 8-hour, Jul 17, 2019
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The north leg carries the load — 984 southbound vehicles, or 71% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 144. Most cyclists arrived from the north (277 of 543). Morning rush is the busier period: 219 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:30 a.m., compared with 183 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.4% 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 7 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
The City's counter on Harrison St between Shaw St and Lane W of Shaw and N of Harrison (24 m away) recorded an average of 29 km/h in its 3-day count in February 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 35 km/h. That segment carries about 1,500 vehicles a day. Shaw St between Harrison St and Fred Hamilton Playground Trl measured slower: 26 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 33 km/h (Jun 2022). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Ossington Ave (204 m away, 30 km/h limit), 22% of the 138,457 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

Ossington Ave (northbound), 293 Ossington Avenue · 138,457 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.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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
Toronto Police place three thefts from vehicles and two bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 3 | 2 | 0 | street/outdoor (3) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Apr 5, 2025. 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.
