Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
24 registered apartment buildings with 3,578 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, eight of them social or Toronto Community Housing.

One building of the 24 scored below 70; the average is 87, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 134 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 14 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.

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, Jul 25, 2024
The west leg carries the load — 8,709 eastbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 32. Most cyclists arrived from the east (51 of 114). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,423 vehicles in the hour from 5:30 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,219). Trucks and buses were 6.2% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 2 years 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
The City's counter on South Station St between Lawrence Ave W and John St (107 m away) recorded an average of 26 km/h in its 3-day count in July 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 36 km/h. That segment carries about 1,500 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| South Station St · Lawrence Ave W – John St · 107 m | Jul 2024 · 3 days | 1,520 | 26 km/h | 36 km/h | 42 km/h |
| Lawrence Ave W · Little Ave – Memorial Park Trl · 397 m | Sep 2013 · 7 days | 12,513 | — | — | — |
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
2016 was the peak year (18 collisions), and 2025 closed with 12. 27% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 31 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 33% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 10% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 1, 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 Mar 24, 2011.
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 19 thefts from vehicles and 21 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 6.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 4.0 a year. 84% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 100% of the bike thefts were from transit property. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Feb 9, 2026.

| Theft from a vehicle | 19 | 8 | 1 | street/outdoor (16), transit property (1) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Feb 9, 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 Weston.
