Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 107 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 14,687 rental units, 4.7× the median for a Toronto intersection — 21 social or Toronto Community Housing.

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 — 8-hour, Mar 28, 2017
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 5,054 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 434 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (551 of 896). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,385 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,445 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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
The City's most recent midblock count on Bay St between College St and Grenville St (43 m away, Mar 2021) recorded volume only — about 6,432 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Wellesley St W (355 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.6% of the 53,586 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |

| Bay St · College St – Grenville St · 43 m | Mar 2021 · 7 days | 6,432 | — | — | — |
School-zone speed sign 355 m
Wellesley St W (eastbound), S/S - 113m East of Queens Park Cres E · 53,586 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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 29 collisions; 2025 recorded 15. 19 collisions (10%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 22 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city.

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
17 thefts from vehicles and 25 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 7.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 4.2 a year. 47% of the vehicle thefts were from apartment-building parking; 44% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
By year

| Theft from a vehicle | 17 | 8 | 0 | apartment parking (8), street/outdoor (6) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Oct 18, 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 Bay-Cloverhill.
