Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
138 registered apartment buildings with 21,523 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 20 of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 6.0× the median for a Toronto intersection.

Three buildings of the 138 scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 521 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 148 fire-code violations are open across them.

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, Sep 9, 2025
The north leg carries the load — 5,525 southbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 22. Most cyclists arrived from the north (472 of 1,024). Morning rush is the busier period: 1,243 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:30 a.m., compared with 1,105 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% 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 most recent midblock count on Charles St E between Church St and Al Sparrow Lane (22 m away, Nov 2011) recorded volume only — about 6,093 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Charles St E · Church St – Al Sparrow Lane · 22 m | Nov 2011 · 3 days | 6,093 | — | — | — |
| Church St · Charles St E – Hayden St · 43 m | Sep 2012 · 3 days | 11,648 | — | — | — |
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
2019 was the peak year (15 collisions), and 2025 closed with 12. 8% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 17 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 2% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 20, 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
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Mar 14, 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 14 thefts from vehicles and 48 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 10× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 14 in 2023–2025, about 4.7 a year, against 6.9 a year before that. 64% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 50% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 4 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 6, 2026.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 14 | 4 | 3 | street/outdoor (9), apartment parking (3) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jun 6, 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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Church-Wellesley.
