Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 61 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 7,768 rental units, 2.7× the median for a Toronto intersection — 45 social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 501 Adelaide St E (179 m, 180 units, 13 storeys, built 2009), which scored 90 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 61 scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 120 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 79 fire-code violations are open across them.

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, Mar 24, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,196 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 483 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (62 of 148). Evening rush dominates here: 1,407 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,221 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 8.2% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 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
On Front St E between Princess St and Berkeley St, 67 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2022 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 40 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 47 km/h or more. That segment carries about 7,000 vehicles a day. Berkeley St between King St E and Adelaide St E measured slower: 24 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 33 km/h (Jun 2018). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Front St E · Princess St – Berkeley St · 67 m | Mar 2022 · 3 days | 6,992 | 30 km/h | 40 km/h | 47 km/h |
| Berkeley St · King St E – Adelaide St E · 152 m | Jun 2018 · 7 days | 2,104 | 24 km/h | 33 km/h | 39 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
The worst year was 2019, with 13 collisions; 2025 recorded 5. 12 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 26 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 31% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 18, 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
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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
11 thefts from vehicles and six bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.7 a year. 82% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 50% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on May 5, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through May 5, 2026. 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 St Lawrence-East Bayfront-The Islands.
