Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score

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.

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, Aug 13, 2026
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 6,355 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 1,941 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (864 of 2,117). Evening rush dominates here: 1,583 vehicles in the peak hour from 6:30 p.m., against 967 in the morning peak from 8:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
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 King St W between Jefferson Ave and Lamport Stadium Park Trl, 106 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in August 2001 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 25 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Joe Shuster Way between King St W and Dufferin St.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| King St W · Jefferson Ave – Lamport Stadium Park Trl · 106 m | Aug 2001 · 24 h | 1,603 | 38 km/h | 48 km/h | 54 km/h |
Traffic calming
- Joe Shuster Way · King St W – Dufferin St
4 speed humps
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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 19 collisions. 10 collisions (9%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 27 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 8 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 27, 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
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jun 4, 2010.
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
12 thefts from vehicles and 35 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 7.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Mar 16, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Mar 16, 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.
