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
Three registered apartment buildings with 686 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 22. The nearest is 3275 Sheppard Ave E (634 m, 219 units, 17 storeys, built 1970), which scored 73 out of 100 at its September 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 11 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 1 fire-code violation is open across them.
| Nearest buildings | Units | Storeys | Built | Score | LTB orders | Distance |

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: 251 m away, ≈67 spaces; 263 m away, ≈3 spaces; 278 m away, ≈2 spaces; 289 m away, ≈2 spaces; 294 m away, ≈3 spaces; 298 m away, ≈3 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, Feb 15, 2022
The north leg carries the load — 8,810 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 581. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,453 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,614 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 Warden Ave between Warden Av S and Lowcrest Blvd (136 m away) recorded an average of 60 km/h in its 3-day count in February 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 68 km/h. That segment carries about 29,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Warden Ave · Warden Av S – Lowcrest Blvd · 136 m | Feb 2020 · 3 days | 29,351 | 60 km/h | 68 km/h | 73 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
2016 was the peak year (28 collisions), and 2025 closed with 23. 22% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 14 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 1% 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 29, 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 Nov 14, 2009.
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 eight thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 50% of the vehicle thefts were from house driveways and garages.
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 Sep 4, 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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Tam O'Shanter-Sullivan.
