Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score

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 16, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 6,871 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 88 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,944 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,736 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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
On Avenue Rd between Elwood Blvd and Kelway Blvd, 45 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2025 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 52 km/h or more. That segment carries about 29,400 vehicles a day. Elwood Blvd between Avenue Rd and Castle Knock Rd measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Nov 2004). At the school-zone speed sign on Castlefield Ave (343 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.9% of the 10,687 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

| Avenue Rd · Elwood Blvd – Kelway Blvd · 45 m | May 2025 · 3 days | 29,371 | 40 km/h | 48 km/h | 52 km/h |

Castlefield Ave (eastbound), 369 Castlefield Avenue · 10,687 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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
Two thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 2 | 0 | 0 | house driveway/garage (1), other (1) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jul 28, 2021. 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.
