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.
Washrooms & water
No City washroom within 1 km.
Park washrooms, washrooms in City buildings and automated street toilets, with hours and status as the City publishes them (park washrooms are seasonal). Malls, shops and TTC stations are not included.

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
Three registered apartment buildings with 107 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 23. The nearest is 750 Wilson Heights Blvd (685 m, 79 units, 4 storeys, built 1993), which scored 86 out of 100 at its August 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 92, about the citywide norm. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 1 final order naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue.

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
| Green P car park | Distance | Spaces | Peak occupancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Downsview Lot - 415 William R Allen Rd · Surface | 1.2 km | 632 * | — |
Nearest lots: 70 m away, ≈162 spaces; 99 m away, ≈561 spaces; 129 m away, ≈118 spaces; 158 m away, ≈630 spaces; 171 m away, ≈245 spaces; 207 m away, ≈80 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, Mar 23, 2010
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 582 vehicles entering from the east to 678 from the north. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 317 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 33% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (238). Trucks and buses were 9.2% 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 17 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2010, 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 most recent midblock count on Kodiak Cres between Sheppard Ave W and Whitehorse Rd (219 m away, Jun 2007) recorded volume only — about 2,680 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kodiak Cres · Sheppard Ave W – Whitehorse Rd · 219 m | Jun 2007 · 3 days | 2,680 | — | — | — |
| Whitehorse Rd · Rimrock Rd – Steeprock Dr · 380 m | Nov 2007 · 3 days | 1,457 | — | — | — |
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

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 15 thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 0 in 2023–2025, about 0.0 a year, against 2.1 a year before that. 73% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 14, 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.
