Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 43 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,486 rental units — one social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 2808 Keele St (28 m, 54 units, 4 storeys, built 1950), which scored 94 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. Five buildings of the 43 scored below 70; the average is 86, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 45 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 18 fire-code violations are open across them.

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.
Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking
Nearest lots: 60 m away, ≈9 spaces; 62 m away, ≈43 spaces; 77 m away, ≈64 spaces; 83 m away, ≈73 spaces; 93 m away, ≈24 spaces; 113 m away, ≈15 spaces.
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 25, 2009
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 11,208 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 318 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,084 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 3,328 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.0% 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 18 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2009, 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 Keele St between Wandle Ave and Lane S of Keelegate and E of Keele, 310 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2026 put the average speed at 45 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 38,700 vehicles a day. Paxtonia Blvd between Keele St and Hawksdale Rd measured slower: 41 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Oct 2014). At the school-zone speed sign on Keele St (75 m away, 30 km/h limit), 54% of the 340,502 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

Keele St (northbound), 2813 Keele Street · 340,502 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 2018, with 7 collisions; 2025 recorded 5. 10 collisions (26%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 21% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (10%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 30, 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
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
Nine thefts from vehicles and seven 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: 3 in 2023–2025, about 1.0 a year, against 1.9 a year before that. 44% of the vehicle thefts were from apartment-building parking; 57% of the bike thefts were from other premises. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 5, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jun 5, 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.
