Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
19 registered apartment buildings with 3,131 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, five of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 800 Lansdowne Ave (336 m, 138 units, 4 storeys, built 1992), which scored 82 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation.

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.

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, Sep 26, 2013
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 1,256 eastbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 248. Most cyclists arrived from the west (228 of 421). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 444 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 14% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (388). Trucks and buses were 13.2% 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 13 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2013, 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
The City's counter on Ward St between Slow Lane and Lappin Ave (280 m away) recorded an average of 34 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2014; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 1,200 vehicles a day. Wallace Ave between Emerson Ave and St Clarens Ave measured slower: 18 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 25 km/h (Sep 2025). The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Ward Street between Lappin Ave and Wallace Ave.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wallace Ave · Emerson Ave – St Clarens Ave · 252 m | Sep 2025 · 7 days | 3,528 | 18 km/h | 25 km/h | 29 km/h |
| Ward St · Slow Lane – Lappin Ave · 280 m | Sep 2014 · 3 days | 1,158 | 34 km/h | 44 km/h | 49 km/h |
Traffic calming
- Ward Street · Lappin Ave – Wallace Ave
4 speed humps
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
2016 was the peak year (6 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 3% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 12 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 40% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% 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 Mar 13, 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 nine thefts from vehicles and four bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 3 in 2023–2025, about 1.0 a year, against 1.4 a year before that. 78% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 9 | 2 | 0 | street/outdoor (7), house driveway/garage (2) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Dec 9, 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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Junction-Wallace Emerson.
