Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 46 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,556 rental units, 2.1× the median for a Toronto intersection — one social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 2647 Keele St (292 m, 33 units, 3 storeys, built 1960), which scored 62 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. Four buildings of the 46 scored below 70; the average is 87, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 47 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 17 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: 106 m away, ≈91 spaces; 107 m away, ≈184 spaces; 121 m away, ≈35 spaces; 164 m away, ≈361 spaces; 181 m away, ≈136 spaces; 184 m away, ≈14 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 — 14-hour, Oct 24, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 19,390 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 34% of the total, against 5,856 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (78 of 147). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,711 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 4,853 from 3:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
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 Sir William Hearst Ave between Morton Shulman Ave and Keele St S, 125 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2026 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 55 km/h or more. That segment carries about 13,200 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sir William Hearst Ave · Morton Shulman Ave – Keele St S · 125 m | Mar 2026 · 3 days | 13,152 | 40 km/h | 50 km/h | 55 km/h |
| Keele St · George Appleton Way – Wilson Ave · 168 m | Jun 2017 · 3 days | 25,785 | — | — | — |
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 2023, with 29 collisions; 2025 recorded 21. 55 collisions (32%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 5% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 9 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 17 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 19, 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
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 cyclist were among those hurt. The most recent was on Oct 29, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.
By year

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 3 | latest Oct 29, 2024 |
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.
