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.

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 15, 2023
The south leg carries the load — 3,984 northbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 759. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,210 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,162 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. 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
The City's counter on Coxwell Blvd between Barbara Cres and Taylor Dr (339 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2002; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. Coxwell Ave between Cosburn Ave and Plains Rd measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Apr 2025). The reading is 24 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Coxwell Ave (132 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.6% of the 25,244 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 10 speed humps slow traffic on Plains Road between Coxwell Ave and Woodbine Ave (installed 2006).

10 speed humpsinstalled 2006
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
2024 was the peak year (13 collisions), and 2025 closed with 10. 9% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 23 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 27% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%.

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 six thefts from vehicles and two bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 6 | 2 | 0 | street/outdoor (4), other (1) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Sep 30, 2024. 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.
