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 17, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,728 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 8 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,109 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 625 in the morning peak from 9:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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 most recent midblock count on John St between Wellington St W and Mercer St (38 m away, Nov 2011) recorded volume only — about 4,105 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| John St · Wellington St W – Mercer St · 38 m | Nov 2011 · 3 days | 4,105 | — | — | — |
| Wellington St W · Simcoe St – John St · 154 m | Apr 2010 · 3 days | 12,362 | — | — | — |
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 2019, with 12 collisions; 2025 recorded 4. 11 collisions (15%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 10 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 8 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (11%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 18, 2026.
By year
Exposure-adjusted: 7.6 collisions per year per 10,000 daily vehicles, using the latest 14-hour count.

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 Jul 30, 2009.
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
Three thefts from vehicles and 14 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 9 in 2023–2025, about 3.0 a year, against 1.1 a year before that. 71% of the bike thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots.
By year

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 3 | 1 | 0 | commercial premises (2), street/outdoor (1) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Sep 24, 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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Wellington Place.
