Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
51 registered apartment buildings with 2,981 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, six of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 2.2× the median for a Toronto intersection.

Two buildings of the 51 scored below 70; the average is 87, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 39 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 19 fire-code violations are open across them.

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, Jul 23, 2024
The west leg carries the load — 5,769 eastbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 314. Most cyclists arrived from the west (2,864 of 6,266). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 861 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 912 from 2:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 2 years 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 W between Manning Ave and Clinton St (253 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. Palmerston Blvd between Lennox St and Bloor St W measured slower: 23 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 32 km/h (Nov 2023). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Manning Ave (287 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 44,756 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 14 speed humps slow traffic on Palmerston Boulevard between Bloor St W and College St.

14 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
2018 was the peak year (10 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 17% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% 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 Jun 10, 2012.
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 45 thefts from vehicles and 11 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 9.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on May 8, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through May 8, 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.
