Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Bay St & College 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 College & Bay, 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
104 registered apartment buildings with 14,282 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 22 of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 4.7× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 32 Grenville St (136 m, 50 units, 12 storeys, built 1900), which scored 100 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 104 scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 311 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 111 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, Apr 8, 2025
The south leg carries the load — 8,638 northbound vehicles, or 31% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 5,333. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,391 vehicles in the hour from 8:45 a.m. and 2,444 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 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 most recent midblock count on College St between Bay St and La Plante Ave (33 m away, Mar 2021) recorded volume only — about 7,732 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| College St · Bay St – La Plante Ave · 33 m | Mar 2021 · 7 days | 7,732 | — | — | — |
| Bay St · College St – Grenville St · 43 m | Mar 2021 · 7 days | 6,432 | — | — | — |
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 (44 collisions), and 2025 closed with 20. 13% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 35 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%.

The most recent report on file is from Jun 4, 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
Of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 2 pedestrians were among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. 1 of the 3 happened in darkness — 33%, about the citywide 39%. 2019 alone accounted for 2 of them. The most recent was on Feb 18, 2022.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 3 | #63 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 1 | #74 of 319 |
| Involving a pedestrian | 2 | #61 of 879 |

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 1 | 33% here vs 39% citywide |
| All KSI since 2006 | 3 | latest Feb 18, 2022 |
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.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Apr 29, 2026.
