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.
Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking
Nearest lots: 63 m away, ≈29 spaces; 293 m away, ≈25 spaces; 388 m away, ≈31 spaces; 461 m away, ≈520 spaces; 520 m away, ≈77 spaces; 537 m away, ≈99 spaces.
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 south leg carries the load — 8,574 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 729. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,594 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 46% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,090). Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% 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 Danforth Rd between Furlong Crt and McCowan Rd (223 m away) recorded an average of 65 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 73 km/h. That segment carries about 16,400 vehicles a day. Barrymore Rd between Huntchester Cres and Kilbride Rd measured slower: 43 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 52 km/h (Sep 2011).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Danforth Rd · Furlong Crt – McCowan Rd · 223 m | May 2023 · 3 days | 16,352 | 65 km/h | 73 km/h | 79 km/h |
| Barrymore Rd · Huntchester Cres – Kilbride Rd · 335 m | Sep 2011 · 24 h | 1,107 | 43 km/h | 52 km/h | 58 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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

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
Police records place no theft from a vehicle or bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025.
Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Nov 22, 2015. 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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Bendale South.
