Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 38 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 3,660 rental units — 12 social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 300 Shaw St (266 m, 32 units, 3 storeys, built 1966), which scored 90 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. Three buildings of the 38 scored below 70; the average is 85, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 62 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 7 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, Oct 20, 2021
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,135 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 26 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (120 of 267). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 632 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 663 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.1% 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 2021, 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 Ossington Ave between Foxley St and Lane N of Foxley and W of Ossington, 31 m from the corner, a 7-day count in September 2025 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 8,800 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Ossington Ave (275 m away, 30 km/h limit), 22% of the 138,457 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ossington Ave · Foxley St – Lane N of Foxley and W of Ossington · 31 m | Sep 2025 · 7 days | 8,839 | 25 km/h | 34 km/h | 39 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 275 m
Ossington Ave (northbound), 293 Ossington Avenue · 138,457 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

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
Four thefts from vehicles and eight bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 1.4 a year before that. 50% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Mar 31, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Mar 31, 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.
