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 Harbord St between Grace St and Joe Pantalone Lane, 261 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 7,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Manning Ave between Harbord St and Lennox St measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Oct 2025). At the school-zone speed sign on Harbord St (63 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.8% of the 44,999 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.

18 registered buildings · 620 units · 3 social housing · tallest 12 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.

Six thefts from vehicles and ten bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 2.0 a year before that. 100% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 40% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on May 2, 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 Palmerston-Little Italy.
