Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
71 registered apartment buildings with 4,691 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, four of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 3.1× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 100 Gamble Ave (138 m, 152 units, 12 storeys, built 1965), which scored 94 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 71 scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 127 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 58 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, Sep 8, 2015
The south leg carries the load — 4,217 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 204. Most cyclists arrived from the north (99 of 195). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,192 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,270 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 10.3% 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 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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 Torrens Ave between Pape Ave and Donlands Ave (300 m away) recorded an average of 29 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 37 km/h. That segment carries about 800 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pape Ave · Cosburn Ave – Gamble Ave · 168 m | Apr 2017 · 9 days | 8,389 | — | — | — |
| Torrens Ave · Pape Ave – Donlands Ave · 300 m | May 2019 · 3 days | 812 | 29 km/h | 37 km/h | 43 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 (9 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 15% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 12 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%.

The most recent report on file is from May 15, 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
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 cyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Aug 17, 2024.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 1 | latest Aug 17, 2024 |
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 four thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Nov 1, 2024. 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.
