Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Four registered apartment buildings with 894 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner — well below the median of 23. The nearest is 5294 Dundas St W (100 m, 45 units, 7 storeys, built 1960), which scored 92 out of 100 at its June 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 98, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 14 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 6 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, Nov 29, 2023
The west leg carries the load — 7,882 eastbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 360. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,763 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 19% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,330). Trucks and buses were 10.4% 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 3 years 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 Dundas St W between Acorn Ave and Subway Cres (82 m away) recorded an average of 44 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 26,700 vehicles a day. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Poplar Avenue between Dundas St W and Bloor St W.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dundas St W · Acorn Ave – Subway Cres · 82 m | Mar 2026 · 3 days | 26,740 | 44 km/h | 54 km/h | 60 km/h |
Traffic calming
- Poplar Avenue · Dundas St W – Bloor St W
5 speed humps
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 (21 collisions), and 2025 closed with 8. 17% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 20 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 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 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jan 28, 2016. 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 reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Toronto Police place 18 thefts from vehicles and four bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.7× 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 Nov 21, 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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Islington.
