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).

Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jan 24, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 2,579 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 112 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 822 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 39% above the afternoon peak from 2:45 p.m. (591). Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years 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 Welsford Gdns between Rowena Dr and Cassandra Blvd, 168 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in August 2007 put the average speed at 31 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 46 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,300 vehicles a day. Cassandra Blvd between Avonwick Gt and Wallingford Rd measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Dec 2021). The reading is 19 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Wallingford Rd (366 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 7,115 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

| Welsford Gdns · Rowena Dr – Cassandra Blvd · 168 m | Aug 2007 · 24 h | 1,282 | 31 km/h | 46 km/h | 53 km/h |

Wallingford Rd (northbound), 15 Wallingford Rd · 7,115 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
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 from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through May 16, 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.
