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
| Green P car park | Distance | Spaces | Peak occupancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leslie Lot - 2760 Old Leslie Street · Surface | 1.7 km | 102 * | — |
Nearest lots: 104 m away, ≈149 spaces; 341 m away, ≈537 spaces; 576 m away, ≈120 spaces; 589 m away, ≈52 spaces; 701 m away, ≈98 spaces; 771 m away, ≈12 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 — 8-hour, Oct 6, 2021
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 695 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 36% of the total, against 548 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 645 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 172% above the afternoon peak from 4:00 p.m. (237). Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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
On Heathcote Ave between Dempsey Cres and Farrington Dr, 286 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2012 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 52 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 55 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,000 vehicles a day. Banbury Rd between Portsmith Rd and Heathcote Ave measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Feb 2024). The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Banbury Rd (130 m away, 30 km/h limit), 28% of the 16,716 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Banbury Rd · Portsmith Rd – Heathcote Ave · 48 m | Feb 2024 · 3 days | 2,333 | 37 km/h | 44 km/h | 49 km/h |
| Heathcote Ave · Dempsey Cres – Farrington Dr · 286 m | Nov 2012 · 24 h | 2,006 | 43 km/h | 52 km/h | 55 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 130 m
Banbury Rd (southbound), 378 Banbury Road · 16,716 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.
