Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Avenue Rd & Bloor St W — a 320 × 240 still the City replaces every few minutes, with the frame's age and its four fixed reference views
The City's own feed for Bloor & Avenue, published as a 320 × 240 still that its server replaces every few minutes — the card checks for a new frame every 45 seconds while you are on the page (Reload checks now) and says whether the frame changed. The fixed views are the City's reference stills showing where the camera points in each direction.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 78 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 9,626 rental units, 3.5× the median for a Toronto intersection — nine social or Toronto Community Housing.

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 25, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 8,055 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 30% of the total, against 5,899 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,060 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,100 from 6:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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
On Avenue Rd between Yorkville Ave and Lowther Ave, 229 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2025 put the average speed at 31 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 42 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 47 km/h or more. That segment carries about 20,300 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Queen's Park · Charles St W – Bloor St W · 84 m | Sep 2019 · 7 days | 16,874 | — | — | — |
| Bloor St W · Queen's Park – Bedford Rd · 136 m | Sep 2019 · 7 days | 11,633 | — | — | — |
| Avenue Rd · Yorkville Ave – Lowther Ave · 229 m | Jun 2025 · 3 days | 20,281 | 31 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
The worst year was 2016, with 67 collisions; 2025 recorded 28. 49 collisions (12%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 65 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 29 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 14 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 17, 2026.
By year
Exposure-adjusted: 15.6 collisions per year per 10,000 daily vehicles, using the latest 14-hour count.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
Of the four serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 1 cyclist and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt; 2 collisions involved vehicle occupants only. 1 of the 4 happened in darkness — 25%, below the citywide 39%. The most recent was on Aug 18, 2021. Going back to 2006, the total is 6. The police all-collisions file records 2 fatal collisions here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places one of them just outside the 65 m radius.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 4 | #20 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 1 | #29 of 319 |
| Involving a pedestrian | 0 | |
| Involving a cyclist | 1 | #18 of 271 |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 1 | |
| In darkness | 1 | 25% here vs 39% citywide |
| All KSI since 2006 | 6 | latest Aug 18, 2021 |
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
Four thefts from vehicles and 33 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 6.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 3.7 a year. 67% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 3, 2026.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 4 | 2 | 0 | street/outdoor (2), apartment parking (1) |

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