Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
110 registered apartment buildings with 6,168 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 17 of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 4.8× the median for a Toronto intersection.

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, Oct 15, 2025
The south leg carries the load — 694 northbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1. Most cyclists arrived from the south (113 of 254). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 191 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 12% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (171). Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
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 Helena Ave between Lane W of Vaughan and S of Hocken and Wychwood Ave (170 m away) recorded an average of 34 km/h in its 3-day count in July 2006; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. Wychwood Ave between Lane S of Ellsworth and W of Wychwood and Ellsworth Ave measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Apr 2017). The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Helena Avenue between Wychwood Ave and Bathurst St, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |

| Wychwood Ave · Lane S of Ellsworth and W of Wychwood – Ellsworth Ave · 136 m | Apr 2017 · 3 days | 1,920 | 33 km/h | 42 km/h | 46 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 four thefts from vehicles and five bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 80% of the bike thefts were from other premises.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 4 | 1 | 0 | street/outdoor (4) |

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