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, Jun 5, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 8,424 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 70% of the total, against 2 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (446 of 920). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,124 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 8% above the afternoon peak from 5:45 p.m. (1,036). Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% 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 York St between Heenan Pl and Wellington St W (30 m away, Sep 2012) recorded volume only — about 11,106 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| York St · Heenan Pl – Wellington St W · 30 m | Sep 2012 · 3 days | 11,106 | — | — | — |
| Wellington St W · Bay St – York St · 140 m | May 2015 · 7 days | 13,702 | — | — | — |
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 21 collisions; 2025 recorded 10. 10 collisions (9%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 17 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Mar 3, 2018. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #1505 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 0 | |

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 4 | latest Mar 3, 2018 |
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
One theft from a vehicle and 16 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 slowed: 3 in 2023–2025, about 1.0 a year, against 2.0 a year before that. 69% of the bike thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Feb 23, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Feb 23, 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.
