Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 104 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 14,409 rental units, 4.5× the median for a Toronto intersection — 15 social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 925 Bay St (51 m, 293 units, 33 storeys, built 2005), which scored 96 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. Two buildings of the 104 scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

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, Jun 21, 2023
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 4,583 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 35% of the total, against 2,099 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,751 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,771 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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 Wellesley St W between St Nicholas St and Bay St, 70 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2025 put the average speed at 28 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 35 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 40 km/h or more. That segment carries about 10,500 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Wellesley St W (175 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.6% of the 53,586 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

School-zone speed sign 175 m
Wellesley St W (eastbound), S/S - 113m East of Queens Park Cres E · 53,586 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 2016, with 28 collisions; 2025 recorded 11. 19 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 14 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 15 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (11%) — a high 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
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Nov 8, 2013.
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
Six thefts from vehicles and ten bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 2.0 a year before that. 83% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 50% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 6 | 2 | 0 | street/outdoor (5), apartment parking (1) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Apr 22, 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.
