Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
42 registered apartment buildings with 7,203 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, ten of them social or Toronto Community Housing.

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 — 8-hour, Apr 20, 2022
The north leg carries the load — 2,043 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 202. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 676 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 37% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (495). Trucks and buses were 6.1% 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 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
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 Dawes Rd between Coleman Ave and Balfour Ave (50 m away) recorded an average of 43 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2009; 85% of drivers were at or under 50 km/h. That segment carries about 10,500 vehicles a day. Coleman Ave between Maryland Blvd and Avonlea Blvd measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Sep 2015). The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Opp 59 Balfour Ave (157 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.6% of the 845 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Coleman Avenue between Dawes Rd and Barrington Ave (installed 2007), and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

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
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 4 collisions. 15% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 40% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%.

The most recent report on file is from May 14, 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
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 Nov 26, 2024.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 1 | latest Nov 26, 2024 |
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

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Sep 21, 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.
