Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Bloor St W & Castle Frank Rd — 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 & Castle Frank, 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
54 registered apartment buildings with 10,568 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, eight of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 36 Castle Frank Rd (336 m, 53 units, 4 storeys, built 1950), which scored 89 out of 100 at its October 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. Three buildings of the 54 scored below 70; the average is 86, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 216 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 57 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 — 14-hour, Jun 25, 2025
The north leg carries the load — 14,574 southbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 178. Most cyclists arrived from the east (2,000 of 3,818). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,911 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 2,704 from 4:00 p.m. 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 Bloor St E between Castle Frank Rd and Drumsnab Rd (52 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 32,200 vehicles a day. Castle Frank Rd between Hawthorn Ave and Drumsnab Rd measured slower: 22 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 28 km/h (Apr 2026). At the school-zone speed sign on Bloor St E (67 m away, 40 km/h limit), 3.8% of the 56,120 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

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
2019 was the peak year (33 collisions), and 2025 closed with 16. 10% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 32 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%.

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. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Oct 14, 2010.
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 two thefts from vehicles and two bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 2 | 1 | 0 | house driveway/garage (2) |
| Bicycle theft | 2 | 0 | 0 | house driveway/garage (1), transit property (1) |
Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Nov 2, 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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Cabbagetown-South St.James Town.
