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, Jun 29, 2021
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 4,139 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 54% of the total, against 55 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (643 of 1,221). Evening rush dominates here: 1,015 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 915 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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 Bloor St W between Westmoreland Ave and Rusholme Rd, 73 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,000 vehicles a day. Salem Ave between Salem Parkette Trl and Shanly St measured slower: 26 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 33 km/h (Nov 2019). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 11 speed humps slow traffic on Salem Avenue between Bloor St W and Dupont St.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bloor St W · Westmoreland Ave – Rusholme Rd · 73 m | Jun 2022 · 7 days | 10,989 | 33 km/h | 43 km/h | 49 km/h |
| Salem Ave · Salem Parkette Trl – Shanly St · 214 m | Nov 2019 · 2 days | 1,199 | 26 km/h | 33 km/h | 37 km/h |
Traffic calming
- Salem Avenue · Bloor St W – Dupont St
11 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
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 8 collisions. 8 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 7 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (14%) — 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 Jun 2, 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 cyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Oct 28, 2022. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #733 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 0 | |

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 2 | latest Oct 28, 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
Seven thefts from vehicles and four bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on May 17, 2026.
