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, Nov 22, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 2,602 westbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 365. Most cyclists arrived from the east (51 of 88). Morning rush is the busier period: 873 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 747 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.0% 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 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 Ashdale Ave between Lane N of Gerrard and E of Hiawatha and Fairford Ave (153 m away) recorded an average of 29 km/h in its 2-day count in February 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 37 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 8 speed humps slow traffic on Ashdale Avenue between Queen St E and Gerrard St E, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ashdale Ave · Lane N of Gerrard and E of Hiawatha – Fairford Ave · 153 m | Feb 2020 · 2 days | 681 | 29 km/h | 37 km/h | 40 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
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 10 collisions. 15% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 13 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 21% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 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
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 24 thefts from vehicles and seven bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 5.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 3.1 a year. 71% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 43% 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 | 24 | 8 | 0 | street/outdoor (17), house driveway/garage (5) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Nov 5, 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 Greenwood-Coxwell.
