Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score

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, Oct 5, 2023
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 5,093 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 536 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (956 of 2,194). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 783 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 765 from 3:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% 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.
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 Homewood Ave between Maribeth Ave and Maitland Pl, 171 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2022 put the average speed at 31 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 44 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,000 vehicles a day. Wellesley St E between Church St and Jarvis St measured slower: 26 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Aug 2026). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Sherbourne St (138 m away, 30 km/h limit), 9.4% of the 197,019 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Homewood Ave · Maribeth Ave – Maitland Pl · 171 m | Apr 2022 · 3 days | 1,964 | 31 km/h | 39 km/h | 44 km/h |
| Wellesley St E · Church St – Jarvis St · 309 m | Aug 2026 · 7 days | 8,731 | 26 km/h | 35 km/h | 39 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 138 m
Sherbourne St (northbound), 437 Sherbourne Street · 197,019 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 9 collisions. 13 collisions (24%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 13 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 24% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 9 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (17%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Apr 16, 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
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Sep 27, 2015.
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
28 thefts from vehicles and 52 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 13× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 8.0 a year. 64% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 56% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on May 27, 2026.

| Theft from a vehicle | 28 | 11 | 1 | street/outdoor (18), apartment parking (8) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through May 27, 2026. 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.
