Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

The worst year was 2018, with 8 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 9 collisions (24%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 11 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 29% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 11 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (29%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 29, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jul 18, 2014.

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.

How fast traffic moves here

On Gerrard St E between Church St and Mutual St, 357 m from the corner, a 7-day count in September 2026 put the average speed at 25 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 34 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 39 km/h or more. That segment carries about 16,900 vehicles a day.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

Within a kilometre there are 109 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 12,543 rental units, 7.3× the median for a Toronto intersection — 43 social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 181-183 Gerrard St E (39 m, 22 units, 4 storeys, built 1930), which scored 91 out of 100 at its December 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. Two buildings of the 109 scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm.

109 registered buildings · 12,543 units · 43 social housing · tallest 43 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

55 thefts from vehicles and 18 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 12× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 7.3 a year. 82% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 33% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Apr 10, 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 Moss Park.
