Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 36 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 2,135 rental units — six social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 378 Markham St (124 m, 17 units, 4 storeys, built 1900), which scored 95 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 36 scored below 70; the average is 86, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 20 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 19 fire-code violations are open across them.

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, Sep 14, 2021
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 511 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 40% of the total, against 345 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 208 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 204 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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 Markham St between Lane N of College and E of Markham and Ulster St, 147 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2025 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 43 km/h or more. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. Ulster St between Wayne and Shuster Lane and Palmerston Blvd measured slower: 24 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 32 km/h (Oct 2025). At the school-zone speed sign on Lippincott St (249 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 23,363 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

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.

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
Four thefts from vehicles and 13 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 3 in 2023–2025, about 1.0 a year, against 2.0 a year before that. 38% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages.

| Theft from a vehicle | 4 | 0 | 0 | street/outdoor (3), other (1) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jun 3, 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.
