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
Eight registered apartment buildings with 1,713 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 23. The nearest is 8 Chichester Pl (60 m, 210 units, 20 storeys, built 2012), which scored 98 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 13 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.
Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking
Nearest lots: 90 m away, ≈23 spaces; 109 m away, ≈148 spaces; 158 m away, ≈131 spaces; 164 m away, ≈141 spaces; 165 m away, ≈73 spaces; 203 m away, ≈103 spaces.
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, Apr 4, 2019
The east leg carries the load — 9,061 westbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 377. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,928 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,512). Trucks and buses were 6.5% 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 Commons Dr between Esquire Rd and Foxhill Rd (151 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 1,200 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sheppard Ave E · Victoria Park Ave – Commons Dr · 109 m | Sep 2014 · 8 days | 15,105 | — | — | — |
| Commons Dr · Esquire Rd – Foxhill Rd · 151 m | Mar 2025 · 3 days | 1,204 | 38 km/h | 45 km/h | 51 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 (9 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 18% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 8% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). The most recent report on file is from Aug 18, 2025.

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 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Jan 17, 2016.
By year

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |

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 23 thefts from vehicles and five bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 4.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 3 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 2, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jun 2, 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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Tam O'Shanter-Sullivan.
