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: 190 m away, ≈91 spaces; 193 m away, ≈30 spaces; 260 m away, ≈668 spaces; 315 m away, ≈109 spaces; 327 m away, ≈339 spaces; 368 m away, ≈772 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 — 8-hour, Dec 13, 2016
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 10,166 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 4,410 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 3,805 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 3,452 in the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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 most recent midblock count on Dixon Rd between Hwy 401 Express E and Dixon E (45 m away, Nov 2011) recorded volume only — about 12,160 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Ludstone Dr (360 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.5% of the 14,720 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dixon Rd · Hwy 401 Express E – Dixon E · 45 m | Nov 2011 · 3 days | 12,160 | — | — | — |
School-zone speed sign 360 m
Ludstone Dr (eastbound), 64 Ludstone Drive · 14,720 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.
