Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
24 registered apartment buildings with 3,491 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 14 of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 55 The Esplanade (461 m, 166 units, 12 storeys, built 1983), which scored 80 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation.

The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 31 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 30 fire-code violations are open across them.

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, Jul 3, 2025
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 6,296 vehicles entering from the south to 7,828 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (749 of 1,590). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,827 vehicles in the hour from 8:45 a.m. and 1,796 from 6:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 14 months 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 Bay St between King St W and Lane S of Adelaide and E of Bay (204 m away) recorded an average of 34 km/h in its 5-day count in September 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 11,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wellington St W · Bay St – York St · 140 m | May 2015 · 7 days | 13,702 | — | — | — |
| Bay St · King St W – Lane S of Adelaide and E of Bay · 204 m | Sep 2021 · 5 days | 11,217 | 34 km/h | 42 km/h | 47 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
2019 was the peak year (44 collisions), and 2025 closed with 31. 11% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 50 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 8% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 11 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
None of the four serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 2 pedestrians and 1 cyclist were among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. 2 of the 4 happened in darkness — 50%, about the citywide 39%. 2019 alone accounted for 2 of them. The most recent was on Mar 16, 2019.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 4 | #34 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 2 | #102 of 879 |
| Involving a cyclist | 1 | #72 of 271 |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 2 | 50% here vs 39% citywide |
| All KSI since 2006 | 4 | latest Mar 16, 2019 |
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 19 thefts from vehicles and 65 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 14× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 8.4 a year. 89% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 58% of the bike thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Dec 12, 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.
