Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Richmond St E & Church St — a 320 × 240 still the City replaces every few minutes, with the frame's age and its four fixed reference views
The City's own feed for Church & Richmond, published as a 320 × 240 still that its server replaces every few minutes — the card checks for a new frame every 45 seconds while you are on the page (Reload checks now) and says whether the frame changed. The fixed views are the City's reference stills showing where the camera points in each direction.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
73 registered apartment buildings with 9,826 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 42 of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 3.2× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 60 Richmond St E (60 m, 50 units, 8 storeys, built 1990), which scored 90 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 73 scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 130 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 76 fire-code violations are open across them.

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, May 29, 2024
The east leg carries the load — 12,618 westbound vehicles, or 65% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 3. Most cyclists arrived from the east (1,876 of 2,959). Morning rush is the busier period: 1,767 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:45 a.m., compared with 1,400 from 5:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.2% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 2 years 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 most recent midblock count on Church St between Ditty Lane and Queen St E (62 m away, Mar 2021) recorded volume only — about 3,984 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Church St · Ditty Lane – Queen St E · 62 m | Mar 2021 · 7 days | 3,984 | — | — | — |
| Richmond St E · Church St – Jarvis St Richmond St E Ramp · 74 m | Oct 2007 · 3 days | 18,924 | — | — | — |
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
2018 was the peak year (29 collisions), and 2025 closed with 18. 16% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 20 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 11% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 17, 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. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here (1 motorcyclist involved), the latest on Mar 26, 2026. 1 older KSI collision is on file from before 2016.

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 36 thefts from vehicles and 13 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 8.2× 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 4, 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.
