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
87 registered apartment buildings with 10,513 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, nine of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 3.8× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 20 Prince Arthur Ave (150 m, 193 units, 23 storeys, built 1968), which scored 83 out of 100 at its July 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. Three buildings of the 87 scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 195 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 80 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 7, 2023
The north leg carries the load — 4,696 southbound vehicles, or 39% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 130. Most cyclists arrived from the north (129 of 282). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,804 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 20% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,506). Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% 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 Yorkville Ave between Bellair St and Hazelton Ave (224 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 5,200 vehicles a day. Avenue Rd between Yorkville Ave and Lowther Ave measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Jun 2025). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Yorkville Avenue between Bay St and Avenue Rd.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Avenue Rd · Yorkville Ave – Lowther Ave · 36 m | Jun 2025 · 3 days | 20,281 | 31 km/h | 42 km/h | 47 km/h |
| Yorkville Ave · Bellair St – Hazelton Ave · 224 m | Nov 2021 · 3 days | 5,168 | 41 km/h | 49 km/h | 55 km/h |
Traffic calming
- Yorkville Avenue · Bay St – Avenue Rd
5 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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
2016 was the peak year (20 collisions), and 2025 closed with 7. 8% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 13 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

The most recent report on file is from Jun 6, 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
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Dec 19, 2025. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.
By year

|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #659 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 1 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 2 | latest Dec 19, 2025 |
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

Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Feb 18, 2026.
