Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
17 registered apartment buildings with 1,678 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing.

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, Nov 2, 2024 (a weekend day)
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 7,021 southbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 624. Most cyclists arrived from the north (250 of 368). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,196 vehicles in the hour from 3:45 p.m., 38% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (869). Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 22 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 counter on Danforth Rd between Pilkington Dr and Birchmount Rd (153 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 3-day count in February 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 1,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Danforth Rd · Pilkington Dr – Birchmount Rd · 153 m | Feb 2020 · 3 days | 1,356 | 30 km/h | 39 km/h | 45 km/h |
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
2016 was the peak year (9 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 11% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). The most recent report on file is from Dec 7, 2025.

Exposure-adjusted: 2.7 collisions per year per 10,000 daily vehicles, using the latest 14-hour count.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.
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 15 thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 1.9 a year before that. 47% of the vehicle thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots.
By year

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 15 | 2 | 0 | commercial premises (7), street/outdoor (5) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Dec 24, 2023. 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 Clairlea-Birchmount.
