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.

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, Jul 23, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,991 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 254 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 867 vehicles in the hour from 8:45 a.m. and 921 from 5:00 p.m. 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 2 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 Palmerston Ave between Lane 2 S of College and E of Palmerston and Lane 1 S of College and E of Palmerston, 167 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2023 put the average speed at 27 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 35 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 39 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. Palmerston Blvd between College St and Ulster St measured slower: 21 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 29 km/h (Nov 2023). At the school-zone speed sign on Bathurst St (229 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 680 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 14 speed humps slow traffic on Palmerston Boulevard between Bloor St W and College St.

Traffic calming

14 speed humps
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
The worst year was 2017, with 17 collisions; 2025 recorded 7. 16 collisions (18%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 13 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 10 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (11%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection.

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
Nine thefts from vehicles and 25 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 5.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 6 in 2023–2025, about 2.0 a year, against 4.0 a year before that. 89% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 52% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Feb 16, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Feb 16, 2026.
