Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
160 registered apartment buildings with 20,787 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 52 of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 7.0× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 320 Seaton St (153 m, 25 units, 6 storeys, built 1961), which scored 78 out of 100 at its October 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. Three buildings of the 160 scored below 70; the average is 87, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 480 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 118 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 — 8-hour, Jul 25, 2023
The west leg carries the load — 1,982 eastbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 94. Most cyclists arrived from the west (268 of 623). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 668 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (615). Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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 Carlton St between Homewood Ave and Sherbourne St (270 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 2-day count in February 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 41 km/h. That segment carries about 9,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Sherbourne St (279 m away, 30 km/h limit), 19% of the 133,430 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Ontario Street between Gerrard St E and Carlton St (installed 2006).

3 speed humpsinstalled 2006
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
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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
Toronto Police place 16 thefts from vehicles and 12 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 4.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 5 in 2023–2025, about 1.7 a year, against 3.3 a year before that. 81% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 33% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Apr 27, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Apr 27, 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.
