Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
11 registered apartment buildings with 1,878 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1 Homewood Ave (88 m, 67 units, 4 storeys, built 1940), which scored 91 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. One building of the 11 scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 32 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 25 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 — 8-hour, Dec 14, 2021
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 10,062 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 666. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,308 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 71% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,934). Trucks and buses were 6.4% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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 Centre Ave between Lane E of Yonge and N of Centre and Dumont St (200 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 24-hour count in March 2014; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 2,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yonge St · Patricia Ave – Homewood Ave · 106 m | Oct 2012 · 3 days | 28,346 | — | — | — |
| Centre Ave · Lane E of Yonge and N of Centre – Dumont St · 200 m | Mar 2014 · 24 h | 2,118 | 40 km/h | 49 km/h | 55 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
2017 was the peak year (20 collisions), and 2025 closed with 11. 8% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 58 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 37% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 21, 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
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Aug 27, 2014.
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 14 thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 8 in 2023–2025, about 2.7 a year, against 0.9 a year before that. 79% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Aug 22, 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 Newtonbrook East.
