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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 19, 2024

The north leg carries the load — 17,855 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 619. Most cyclists arrived from the south (31 of 57). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,998 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,998 from 2:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Bayview Ave between Belle Geste Lane and Forest Heights Blvd (340 m away) recorded an average of 61 km/h in its 24-hour count in January 2001; 85% of drivers were at or under 69 km/h. That segment carries about 31,600 vehicles a day. Fifeshire Rd between Toba Dr and Chieftain Cres measured slower: 41 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 51 km/h (Aug 2011). The reading is 25 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Bayview Ave · Belle Geste Lane – Forest Heights Blvd · 340 mJan 2001 · 24 h31,59361 km/h69 km/h74 km/h
Fifeshire Rd · Toba Dr – Chieftain Cres · 357 mAug 2011 · 24 h1,88141 km/h51 km/h57 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.

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.
