Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
30 registered apartment buildings with 3,868 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, eight of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 900 Queen St W (216 m, 22 units, 3 storeys, built 1996), which scored 81 out of 100 at its July 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. Three buildings of the 30 scored below 70; the average is 87, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 76 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 5 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 — 8-hour, Oct 13, 2021
Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 152 vehicles entering from the west to 162 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the north (31 of 70). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 62 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 55% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (40). Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. 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
The City's counter on Givins St between Bruce St and Argyle St (75 m away) recorded an average of 24 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 34 km/h. That segment carries about 400 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Givins St · Bruce St – Argyle St · 75 m | May 2025 · 3 days | 410 | 24 km/h | 34 km/h | 39 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.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.
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.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jun 19, 2026.
