Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
17 registered apartment buildings with 2,357 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing.

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 — 14-hour, Sep 11, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 7,148 northbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,081. Most cyclists arrived from the south (70 of 122). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,396 vehicles in the hour from 3:00 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,285). Trucks and buses were 6.1% 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 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 Warden Ave between Bamblett Dr and Cataraqui Cres (365 m away) recorded an average of 50 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 13,100 vehicles a day. Bell Estate Rd between Warden Ave and Dairy Dr measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 46 km/h (Sep 2011).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bell Estate Rd · Warden Ave – Dairy Dr · 35 m | Sep 2011 · 24 h | 1,582 | 37 km/h | 46 km/h | 51 km/h |
| Warden Ave · Bamblett Dr – Cataraqui Cres · 365 m | May 2026 · 3 days | 13,112 | 50 km/h | 58 km/h | 63 km/h |
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
2024 was the peak year (9 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 19% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 11 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 6% 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 26, 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
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 29, 2023.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #704 of 1,505 |

| All KSI since 2006 | 1 | latest Mar 29, 2023 |
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 13 thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Oct 13, 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.
