Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
70 registered apartment buildings with 4,829 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, six of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 3.0× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 110 Walmer Rd (180 m, 10 units, 4 storeys, built 1920). Three buildings of the 70 scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm.

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 — 8-hour, Jun 28, 2018
The south leg carries the load — 571 northbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 3. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 239 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 37% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (174). Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
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 Brunswick Ave between Bernard Ave and Dupont St (217 m away) recorded an average of 33 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 43 km/h. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. Wells St between Howland Ave and Albany Ave measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Apr 2019). The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wells St · Howland Ave – Albany Ave · 155 m | Apr 2019 · 3 days | 1,866 | 30 km/h | 37 km/h | 40 km/h |
| Brunswick Ave · Bernard Ave – Dupont St · 217 m | May 2018 · 3 days | 1,024 | 33 km/h | 43 km/h | 49 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.

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 two thefts from vehicles and seven bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 43% of the bike thefts were from other premises.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Oct 23, 2022. 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 Annex.
