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

The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 76 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 46 fire-code violations are open across them.

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, Jun 6, 2006
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 6,615 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 91 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,793 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,716 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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 Russell Hill Rd between Chaplin Cres and Lane S of Eglinton and W of Warren Rd, 97 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2005 put the average speed at 29 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 44 km/h or more. That segment carries about 100 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Spadina Rd (293 m away, 30 km/h limit), 3.1% of the 10,633 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Russell Hill Rd · Chaplin Cres – Lane S of Eglinton and W of Warren Rd · 97 m | Sep 2005 · 3 days | 131 | 29 km/h | 39 km/h | 44 km/h |

Spadina Rd (northbound), 1053 Spadina Road · 10,633 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 2023, with 15 collisions; 2025 recorded 8. 8 collisions (11%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 14 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), a low 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
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Mar 27, 2017.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #897 of 1,505 |

| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 1 | latest Mar 27, 2017 |
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
11 thefts from vehicles and four bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 1 in 2023–2025, about 0.3 a year, against 2.0 a year before that. 45% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 11 | 0 | 0 | street/outdoor (5), house driveway/garage (5) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Oct 29, 2023. 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.
