Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

The worst year was 2018, with 36 collisions; 2025 recorded 18. 22 collisions (9%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 25 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (1%), a low share for a Toronto intersection.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

Within a kilometre there are 94 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 6,648 rental units, 6.3× the median for a Toronto intersection — 14 social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 90 Dunn Ave (96 m). None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

94 registered buildings · 6,648 units · 14 social housing · tallest 23 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Ten thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 1.0 a year before that. 70% of the vehicle thefts were from house driveways and garages.

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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see South Parkdale.
