Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
27 registered apartment buildings with 1,445 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them 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
The west leg carries the load — 6,346 eastbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 754. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,108 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 8:45 a.m. (978). Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% 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 Shaw St between Irene Ave and Lane W of Shaw and S of Leeds (122 m away) recorded an average of 25 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 33 km/h. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 9 speed humps slow traffic on Shaw Street between Dupont St and Bloor St W, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shaw St · Irene Ave – Lane W of Shaw and S of Leeds · 122 m | Sep 2021 · 3 days | 895 | 25 km/h | 33 km/h | 37 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
2017 was the peak year (10 collisions), and 2025 closed with 9. 16% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 14 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 16% 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 Jan 31, 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 and 1 cyclist were among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jun 14, 2022. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #734 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 1 | #405 of 879 |

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 2 | latest Jun 14, 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 two thefts from vehicles and ten bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 6 in 2023–2025, about 2.0 a year, against 0.9 a year before that. 40% of the bike thefts were from other premises.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Oct 17, 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.
