Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Nine registered apartment buildings with 705 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, two of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 23.

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, Jul 25, 2016
The east leg carries the load — 108 westbound vehicles, or 27% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 86. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 64 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 62 from 2:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 14.1% 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 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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 Dunkirk Rd between Glebemount Ave and Woodmount Ave (244 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 24-hour count in February 2002; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 400 vehicles a day. Binswood Ave between Frater Ave and Mortimer Ave measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Nov 2003). The reading is 24 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Coxwell Ave (348 m away, 40 km/h limit), 7.9% of the 139,151 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Binswood Ave · Frater Ave – Mortimer Ave · 130 m | Nov 2003 · 3 days | 461 | 34 km/h | 45 km/h | 52 km/h |
| Dunkirk Rd · Glebemount Ave – Woodmount Ave · 244 m | Feb 2002 · 24 h | 350 | 36 km/h | 47 km/h | 53 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 348 m
Coxwell Ave (southbound), 845 Coxwell Avenue · 139,151 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
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.
