Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 110 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 13,221 rental units, 4.8× the median for a Toronto intersection — 54 social or Toronto Community Housing.

Two buildings of the 110 scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm.

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, Jul 9, 2024
No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 4,148 and 5,039 vehicles. Evening rush dominates here: 1,690 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,431 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 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 most recent midblock count on Gerrard St E between Ontario St and Berkeley St (170 m away, Apr 2010) recorded volume only — about 8,854 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gerrard St E · Ontario St – Berkeley St · 170 m | Apr 2010 · 3 days | 8,854 | — | — | — |
| Parliament St · Carlton St – Aberdeen Ave · 326 m | Sep 2012 · 3 days | 11,202 | — | — | — |
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 2016, with 23 collisions; 2025 recorded 21. 30 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 30 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 18 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (10%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 16 more collisions have been reported, 1 of them fatal; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 20, 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
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here — it was fatal (1 pedestrian involved), the latest on May 22, 2026. 4 older KSI collisions are on file from before 2016.
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 0 | |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 0 | |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | |
| Since January 2026 (outside the window) | 1 | 1 fatal · 1 pedestrian · latest May 22, 2026 |
| All KSI since 2006 | 5 | latest May 22, 2026 |
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 12 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 3.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Feb 26, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Feb 26, 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.
