Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
157 registered apartment buildings with 21,346 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 30 of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 6.8× the median for a Toronto intersection.

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
The east leg carries the load — 5,041 westbound vehicles, or 33% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2,935. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,259 vehicles in the hour from 3:15 p.m., 12% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,121). Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. 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
The City's counter on Sherbourne St between Carlton St and Wellesley St E (226 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 7-day count in August 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 43 km/h. That segment carries about 7,700 vehicles a day. Wellesley St E between Jarvis St and Wellesley Pl measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Mar 2025). At the school-zone speed sign on Sherbourne St (108 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sherbourne St · Carlton St – Wellesley St E · 226 m | Aug 2026 · 7 days | 7,694 | 36 km/h | 43 km/h | 47 km/h |

School-zone speed sign 108 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
2023 was the peak year (17 collisions), and 2025 closed with 10. 20% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 22 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 17% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 9, 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 12 thefts from vehicles and nine bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 4 in 2023–2025, about 1.3 a year, against 2.4 a year before that. 75% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 44% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Oct 8, 2025. 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.
