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, Jun 25, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 6,410 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 1,442 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (1,259 of 2,878). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,330 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,288 from 5:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
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 Bloor St W between Perth Ave and Dundas St W, 258 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2026 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 40 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 18,700 vehicles a day. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Sterling Road between Perth Ave and Bloor St W (installed 2005).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bloor St W · Perth Ave – Dundas St W · 258 m | Apr 2026 · 3 days | 18,740 | 33 km/h | 40 km/h | 45 km/h |
Traffic calming
- Sterling Road · Perth Ave – Bloor St W
3 speed humpsinstalled 2005
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

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

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Nov 20, 2018. 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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Dufferin Grove.
