Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 49 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 2,152 rental units, 2.1× the median for a Toronto intersection — eight social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 46 Saranac Blvd (50 m, 36 units, 3 storeys, built 1960), which scored 93 out of 100 at its September 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 93, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 51 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 10 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, Feb 6, 2020
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 9,586 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 55% of the total, against 521 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 4,516 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m., 110% above the afternoon peak from 4:00 p.m. (2,153). Trucks and buses were 6.9% 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. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, not today's volume. 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
On Saranac Blvd between Lane W of Bathurst and N of Saranac and Bathurst St, 56 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in June 2001 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 25 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saranac Blvd · Lane W of Bathurst and N of Saranac – Bathurst St · 56 m | Jun 2001 · 24 h | 1,577 | 36 km/h | 45 km/h | 50 km/h |
| Bathurst St · Bedford Park Ave – Woburn Ave · 111 m | Mar 2021 · 3 days | 16,946 | — | — | — |
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 2018, with 12 collisions; 2025 recorded 9. 6 collisions (11%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 18 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 33% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Apr 18, 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 Nov 7, 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
17 thefts from vehicles and six bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 3.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 2.3 a year. 59% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 67% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on May 3, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through May 3, 2026. 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 Bedford Park-Nortown.
