Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
34 registered apartment buildings with 4,126 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 25 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, Apr 16, 2025
The east leg carries the load — 5,114 westbound vehicles, or 55% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 101. Most cyclists arrived from the east (431 of 893). Morning rush is the busier period: 1,083 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:45 a.m., compared with 972 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 17 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 Carroll St between Matilda St and Doris Anderson Crt (243 m away) recorded an average of 20 km/h in its 7-day count in November 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 29 km/h. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carroll St · Matilda St – Doris Anderson Crt · 243 m | Nov 2022 · 7 days | 991 | 20 km/h | 29 km/h | 33 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

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 3 pedestrians were among those hurt. 1 of the 3 happened in darkness — 33%, about the citywide 39%. 2019 alone accounted for 2 of them. The most recent was on Sep 17, 2020.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 3 | #150 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 3 | #39 of 879 |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 1 | 33% here vs 39% citywide |
| All KSI since 2006 | 3 | latest Sep 17, 2020 |
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 from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Toronto Police place 11 thefts from vehicles and 19 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 5.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jan 5, 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.
