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, Oct 18, 2016
The north leg carries the load — 4,133 southbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 761. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,245 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,302 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 9.6% 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 Broadview Ave between Pretoria Ave and Browning Ave (148 m away) recorded an average of 47 km/h in its 4-day count in April 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 16,800 vehicles a day. Pretoria Ave between Cambridge Ave and Broadview Ave measured slower: 21 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 29 km/h (Apr 2008). The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pretoria Ave · Cambridge Ave – Broadview Ave · 50 m | Apr 2008 · 24 h | 93 | 21 km/h | 29 km/h | 32 km/h |
| Broadview Ave · Pretoria Ave – Browning Ave · 148 m | Apr 2018 · 4 days | 16,809 | 47 km/h | 57 km/h | 63 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.
Thefts reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Toronto Police place 15 thefts from vehicles and four bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.9 a year. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on May 25, 2026.
By year

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 15 | 5 | 0 | street/outdoor (10), apartment parking (2) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through May 25, 2026. 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.
