Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
119 registered apartment buildings with 9,803 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 21 of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 5.2× the median for a Toronto intersection.

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, Feb 2, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 2,369 eastbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 593. Most cyclists arrived from the west (47 of 109). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 727 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 768 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 counter on Gwynne Ave between Lane N of King and W of Gwynne and Melbourne Ave (137 m away) recorded an average of 35 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 43 km/h. That segment carries about 1,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| King St W · Dufferin St – Gwynne Ave · 62 m | Nov 2015 · 3 days | 18,771 | — | — | — |
| Gwynne Ave · Lane N of King and W of Gwynne – Melbourne Ave · 137 m | Oct 2021 · 3 days | 1,310 | 35 km/h | 43 km/h | 49 km/h |
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
2024 was the peak year (6 collisions), and 2025 closed with 4. 29% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

The most recent report on file is from May 9, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The last one inside the window was in 2022. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here (1 pedestrian involved), the latest on Jul 13, 2026. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

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
Toronto Police place seven thefts from vehicles and eight bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 3 in 2023–2025, about 1.0 a year, against 1.7 a year before that. 57% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 38% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Nov 10, 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.
