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, Nov 2, 2024 (a weekend day)
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 9,881 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 943. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,016 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 67% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,207). Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 22 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
The City's counter on Brimley Rd between Thomson Memorial Park Trl and Britwell Ave (388 m away) recorded an average of 50 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 59 km/h. That segment carries about 26,200 vehicles a day. Dorcot Ave between Birkdale Rd and Lyon Heights Rd measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Jun 2019).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dorcot Ave · Birkdale Rd – Lyon Heights Rd · 269 m | Jun 2019 · 3 days | 2,128 | 40 km/h | 48 km/h | 53 km/h |
| Brimley Rd · Thomson Memorial Park Trl – Britwell Ave · 388 m | Apr 2026 · 3 days | 26,241 | 50 km/h | 59 km/h | 65 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
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Dec 20, 2014.
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.
