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 — 14-hour, May 12, 2026
The east leg carries the load — 8,065 westbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 717. Most cyclists arrived from the west (133 of 240). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,723 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,763 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
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 Bloor St W between Cosmo Rd and Tom Riley Park Trl (141 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 18,700 vehicles a day. Aberfoyle Cres between Bloor St W and Tom Riley Park Trl measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Dec 2012). At the school-zone speed sign on Montgomery Rd (312 m away, 40 km/h limit), 7.0% of the 53,884 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

Montgomery Rd (northbound), 21 Montgomery Road · 53,884 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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
2019 was the peak year (11 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 19% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 6% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 9% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Feb 17, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
Of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 2 pedestrians and 1 cyclist were among those hurt. All happened in daylight or lit conditions (citywide, 39% of KSI collisions occur in darkness). The most recent was on Apr 16, 2023.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 3 | #61 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 1 | #51 of 319 |
| Involving a pedestrian | 2 | #60 of 879 |
| Involving a cyclist | 1 | #20 of 271 |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | 0% here vs 39% citywide |
| All KSI since 2006 | 3 | latest Apr 16, 2023 |
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.
