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
125 registered apartment buildings with 19,289 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 19 of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 5.4× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 8 Gloucester St (53 m, 231 units, 34 storeys, built 2021), which scored 100 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. Two buildings of the 125 scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 457 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 145 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 — 8-hour, Jun 21, 2023
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 3,368 northbound vehicles, or 58% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 525. Most cyclists arrived from the north (627 of 1,149). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 922 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 33% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (693). Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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 Gloucester St between Yonge St and Gloucester Lane (29 m away) recorded an average of 31 km/h in its 3-day count in June 2009; 85% of drivers were at or under 40 km/h. That segment carries about 1,500 vehicles a day. Yonge St between Maitland St and Wellesley St W measured slower: 22 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 32 km/h (Aug 2026). The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Gloucester Street between Yonge St and Church St.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gloucester St · Yonge St – Gloucester Lane · 29 m | Jun 2009 · 3 days | 1,456 | 31 km/h | 40 km/h | 45 km/h |

Traffic calming
- Gloucester Street · Yonge St – Church St
3 speed humps
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.

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 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Nov 29, 2025.
By year

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 from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Feb 23, 2026.
