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

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, Oct 15, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 9,418 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 98% of the total, against 180 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (752 of 853). Evening rush dominates here: 1,012 vehicles in the peak hour from 6:00 p.m., against 619 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% 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 Queen's Park Cres W between Hoskin Ave and Queens Pr S, 213 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2019 put the average speed at 49 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 64 km/h or more. That segment carries about 13,700 vehicles a day. St Joseph St between Bay St and St Nicholas St measured slower: 26 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Dec 2014). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Wellesley St W (192 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.6% of the 53,586 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

School-zone speed sign 192 m
Wellesley St W (eastbound), S/S - 113m East of Queens Park Cres E · 53,586 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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 worst year was 2017, with 6 collisions; 2025 recorded 5. 4 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection.

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
One theft from a vehicle and four bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
By year

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Sep 5, 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.
