Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
89 registered apartment buildings with 6,102 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 16 of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 3.9× the median for a Toronto intersection.

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.

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, Apr 9, 2024
The north leg carries the load — 1,472 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1. Most cyclists arrived from the south (195 of 466). Morning rush is the busier period: 316 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:30 a.m., compared with 289 from 2:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
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 Sorauren Ave between Garden Ave and Fern Ave (353 m away) recorded an average of 25 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 32 km/h. That segment carries about 3,100 vehicles a day. Marion St between Sorauren Ave and Lane W of Sorauren and S of Marion measured slower: 11 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 17 km/h (Sep 2011). At the school-zone speed sign on Queen St W (281 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 5,239 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Queen St W (westbound), N Side Queen St W at Dowling Ave · 5,239 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 (7 collisions), and 2025 closed with 0. 7% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 15 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 52% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 7% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 11, 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
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 six thefts from vehicles and five bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 0 in 2023–2025, about 0.0 a year, against 1.6 a year before that. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 80% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Mar 23, 2022. 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.
