Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
17 registered apartment buildings with 2,653 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing.

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.
Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking
Nearest lots: 98 m away, ≈22 spaces; 118 m away, ≈38 spaces; 194 m away, ≈670 spaces; 199 m away, ≈930 spaces; 202 m away, ≈118 spaces; 207 m away, ≈198 spaces.
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, Nov 8, 2025 (a weekend day)
The west leg carries the load — 16,840 eastbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 1,711. Most cyclists arrived from the west (82 of 166). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,036 vehicles in the hour from 3:00 p.m., 27% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (2,391). Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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 York Gate Blvd between Finch Ave W and Finch Corridor Trl (172 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 9,400 vehicles a day. Elana Dr between Firgrove Cres and Finch Ave W measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Dec 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Finch Ave W · York Gate Blvd – Pelican Gt · 77 m | Nov 2011 · 3 days | 25,857 | — | — | — |
| York Gate Blvd · Finch Ave W – Finch Corridor Trl · 172 m | Nov 2018 · 3 days | 9,412 | 46 km/h | 54 km/h | 60 km/h |
| Elana Dr · Firgrove Cres – Finch Ave W · 198 m | Dec 2019 · 3 days | 2,030 | 35 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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
2017 was the peak year (34 collisions), and 2025 closed with 24. 15% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 40 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%.

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. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jan 27, 2022. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #937 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 1 | #530 of 879 |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 1 | latest Jan 27, 2022 |
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.
