Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
31 registered apartment buildings with 1,860 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, four of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 496 Montrose Ave (24 m, 24 units, 3 storeys, built 1930), which scored 85 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. Three buildings of the 31 scored below 70; the average is 85, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 42 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 8 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, Oct 1, 2020
The west leg carries the load — 4,248 eastbound vehicles, or 60% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 2,874. Most cyclists arrived from the west (1,325 of 2,413). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,008 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 950 from 2:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 11.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 6 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
The City's counter on Bloor St W between Manning Ave and Clinton St (358 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 10,200 vehicles a day. Montrose Ave between Harbord St and Lane S of Bloor and W of Montrose measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Apr 2025). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Montrose Ave · Harbord St – Lane S of Bloor and W of Montrose · 229 m | Apr 2025 · 3 days | 1,304 | 30 km/h | 38 km/h | 42 km/h |
| Bloor St W · Manning Ave – Clinton St · 358 m | Jun 2022 · 7 days | 10,198 | 30 km/h | 39 km/h | 45 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
2023 was the peak year (5 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 36% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 21% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 33% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 9, 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 30, 2022.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #731 of 1,505 |

| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 1 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 1 | latest Dec 30, 2022 |
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 nine thefts from vehicles and 17 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 4.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 2.6 a year. 78% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 35% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Dec 18, 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.
