Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score

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 — 4,759 northbound vehicles, or 29% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 3,184. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,459 vehicles in the hour from 5:45 p.m., 22% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,200). Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% 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 (178 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. Wellesley St E between Church St and Jarvis St measured slower: 26 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Aug 2026). 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 (230 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.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wellesley St E · Church St – Jarvis St · 110 m | Aug 2026 · 7 days | 8,731 | 26 km/h | 35 km/h | 39 km/h |
| Church St · Alexander St – Maitland St · 178 m | Jun 2022 · 7 days | 6,941 | 30 km/h | 38 km/h | 44 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 230 m
Alexander St (eastbound), 90 Alexander Street · 61,958 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jun 26, 2017. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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
