Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Front St W & Blue Jays Way — a 320 × 240 still the City replaces every few minutes, with the frame's age and its four fixed reference views
The City's own feed for Front & Blue Jays, published as a 320 × 240 still that its server replaces every few minutes — the card checks for a new frame every 45 seconds while you are on the page (Reload checks now) and says whether the frame changed. The fixed views are the City's reference stills showing where the camera points in each direction.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
21 registered apartment buildings with 4,000 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, nine of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 50 John St (277 m, 14 units, 3 storeys, built 1940), which scored 93 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation.

The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 67 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 38 fire-code violations are open across them.

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, Sep 10, 2025
The east leg carries the load — 6,897 westbound vehicles, or 33% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 3,382. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,704 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,806 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% 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 counter on Front St W between Spadina Ave and Draper St (381 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 7-day count in July 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 7,600 vehicles a day. Blue Jays Way between Front St W and Lane S of Wellington and E of Blue Jays Way measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Jun 2022). 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blue Jays Way · Front St W – Lane S of Wellington and E of Blue Jays Way · 50 m | Jun 2022 · 7 days | 8,182 | 32 km/h | 42 km/h | 48 km/h |
| Front St W · Spadina Ave – Draper St · 381 m | Jul 2022 · 7 days | 7,628 | 40 km/h | 48 km/h | 53 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
2017 was the peak year (56 collisions), and 2025 closed with 20. 9% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 54 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 9% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 27, 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 cyclist was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Dec 1, 2022. Going back to 2006, the total is 5.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #942 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 0 | |
| Involving a cyclist | 1 | #138 of 271 |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 1 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 5 | latest Dec 1, 2022 |
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 28 thefts from vehicles and 43 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 12× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 24, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jun 24, 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.
