Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
166 registered apartment buildings with 24,651 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 35 of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 7.2× the median for a Toronto intersection.

Four buildings of the 166 scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm.

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 11, 2026
The south leg carries the load — 4,288 northbound vehicles, or 40% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1. Most cyclists arrived from the north (643 of 1,372). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,124 vehicles in the hour from 5:15 p.m., 46% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (772). Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
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 Church St between Alexander St and Maitland St (55 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 38 km/h. That segment carries about 6,900 vehicles a day. Alexander St between Alexander Pl and Mutual St measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Oct 2019). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Alexander St (53 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 61,958 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Alexander Street between Yonge St and Church St, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

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 10 collisions. 16% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% 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. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jun 13, 2011.
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 47 thefts from vehicles and 25 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 12× 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 May 23, 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.
