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
89 registered apartment buildings with 8,847 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, two of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 3.9× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 21 Lascelles Blvd (117 m, 173 units, 17 storeys, built 1957), which scored 93 out of 100 at its June 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 191 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 34 fire-code violations are open across them.

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.

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).

Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 3, 2025
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 7,572 northbound vehicles, or 39% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 4,640. Most cyclists arrived from the north (605 of 1,323). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,762 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (1,560). Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 15 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 Merton St between Yonge St and Lane E of Yonge and S of Merton (39 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 3-day count in July 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 7,300 vehicles a day. Yonge St between Merton St and Balliol St measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Jun 2025). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Merton St · Yonge St – Lane E of Yonge and S of Merton · 39 m | Jul 2019 · 3 days | 7,331 | 39 km/h | 47 km/h | 52 km/h |
| Yonge St · Merton St – Balliol St · 71 m | Jun 2025 · 3 days | 20,190 | 33 km/h | 42 km/h | 47 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 (21 collisions), and 2025 closed with 9. 14% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 13 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 5% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 3, 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. 3 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on May 26, 2008. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.
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 seven thefts from vehicles and 37 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 7.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 8 in 2023–2025, about 2.7 a year, against 5.1 a year before that. 71% of the vehicle thefts were from apartment-building parking; 70% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 7 | 2 | 0 | apartment parking (5), street/outdoor (2) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Dec 3, 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.
