Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
95 registered apartment buildings with 13,328 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 20 of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 4.1× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 32 Grenville St (233 m, 50 units, 12 storeys, built 1900), which scored 100 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 95 scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 273 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 101 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, Oct 9, 2025
The west leg carries the load — 7,254 eastbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,888. Most cyclists arrived from the west (1,720 of 3,884). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,512 vehicles in the hour from 5:30 p.m., 14% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,330). Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% 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 College St between Bay St and La Plante Ave (96 m away, Mar 2021) recorded volume only — about 7,732 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Wellesley St W (395 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.6% of the 53,586 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| College St · Bay St – La Plante Ave · 96 m | Mar 2021 · 7 days | 7,732 | — | — | — |
School-zone speed sign 395 m
Wellesley St W (eastbound), S/S - 113m East of Queens Park Cres E · 53,586 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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
2024 was the peak year (14 collisions), and 2025 closed with 12. 30% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 14 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
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Jan 4, 2019.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #776 of 1,505 |

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 1 | |

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 eight thefts from vehicles and 20 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 4.7× 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 Oct 20, 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.
