Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
56 registered apartment buildings with 3,655 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, eight of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 2.4× the median for a Toronto intersection.

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, Mar 23, 2023
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 2,072 southbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 952. Most cyclists arrived from the south (44 of 101). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 793 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 49% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (531). Trucks and buses were 6.6% 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 4 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 Pearson Ave between Lane W of Sorauren and S of Pearson and Lane E of Roncesvalles and N of Pearson (189 m away) recorded an average of 27 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 34 km/h. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Sunnyside Ave (260 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.7% of the 20,258 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pearson Ave · Lane W of Sorauren and S of Pearson – Lane E of Roncesvalles and N of Pearson · 189 m | Oct 2025 · 3 days | 1,012 | 27 km/h | 34 km/h | 39 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 260 m
Sunnyside Ave (northbound), 158 Sunnyside Avenue · 20,258 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
2023 was the peak year (8 collisions), and 2025 closed with 6. 7% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 12 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 29% 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, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Feb 2, 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 Sep 13, 2007.
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 eight thefts from vehicles and seven bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 1.9 a year before that. 38% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 43% of the bike thefts were from other premises.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jul 30, 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.
