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
Within a kilometre there are seven RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,200 rental units — one social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 6210 Yonge St (170 m, 83 units, 7 storeys, built 1968), which scored 88 out of 100 at its August 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation.

The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 26 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 15 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 — 14-hour, Jun 30, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 17,351 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 828 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (104 of 235). Evening rush dominates here: 2,917 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:30 p.m., against 2,615 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.2% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
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
On Yonge St between Abitibi Ave and Nipigon Ave, 143 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2004 put the average speed at 45 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 64 km/h or more. That segment carries about 52,900 vehicles a day. Athabaska Ave between Lane E of Yonge and S of Athabaska and Dumont St measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 52 km/h (Oct 2014). The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yonge St · Abitibi Ave – Nipigon Ave · 143 m | Aug 2004 · 3 days | 52,892 | 45 km/h | 58 km/h | 64 km/h |
| Athabaska Ave · Lane E of Yonge and S of Athabaska – Dumont St · 167 m | Oct 2014 · 24 h | 1,160 | 42 km/h | 52 km/h | 58 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
The worst year was 2016, with 70 collisions; 2025 recorded 14. 28 collisions (13%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 70 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 32% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 9 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 26, 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 Aug 8, 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
Ten thefts from vehicles and six bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 3 in 2023–2025, about 1.0 a year, against 1.9 a year before that. 80% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 50% 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 | 10 | 2 | 0 | street/outdoor (8), commercial premises (2) |
| Bicycle theft | 6 | 1 | 0 | commercial premises (3), street/outdoor (2) |
Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Oct 17, 2024. 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 Newtonbrook East.
