Food premises, public washrooms, child care and emergency services — distances are straight-line from the node
Restaurants & food
There are 159 restaurants, cafés and takeouts within 300 m of the corner, plus 15 grocery and convenience stores, and 364 eating places within a kilometre — 5.1× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is Popeyes Supplements, 14 m away, which passed its last DineSafe inspection in January 2026.

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
The nearest public washroom is Nathan Phillips Square Outdoor Rink Washroom, 486 m away, View outdoor rink hours. A drinking fountain is 156 m away at Cloud Gardens.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
42 registered apartment buildings with 6,339 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 28 of them social or Toronto Community Housing.

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 — 14-hour, Mar 6, 2025
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The west leg carries the load — 10,947 eastbound vehicles, or 58% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 3,478. Most cyclists arrived from the west (943 of 1,973). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,757 vehicles in the hour from 3:45 p.m., 34% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (1,315). Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
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 Adelaide St E between Church St and St. James Park Trl (340 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 9,500 vehicles a day. Yonge St between King St W and Adelaide St W measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Sep 2021). The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yonge St · King St W – Adelaide St W · 74 m | Sep 2021 · 5 days | 3,746 | 34 km/h | 42 km/h | 48 km/h |
| Adelaide St E · Church St – St. James Park Trl · 340 m | Oct 2017 · 3 days | 9,508 | 37 km/h | 48 km/h | 54 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
2018 was the peak year (41 collisions), and 2025 closed with 30. 11% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 30 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 9% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 7 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Mar 20, 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
None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. 1 of the 3 happened in darkness — 33%, about the citywide 39%. The most recent was on Jul 2, 2022. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.
By year

| In darkness | 1 | 33% here vs 39% citywide |

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 five thefts from vehicles and 38 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 7.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 4.3 a year. 80% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 45% of the bike thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |

| Theft from a vehicle | 5 | 1 | 0 | street/outdoor (4), commercial premises (1) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Oct 1, 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 Downtown Yonge East.
