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.

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, Jul 21, 2026

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 12,070 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 2,263 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (73 of 92). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,644 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,765 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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 Lake Shore Blvd E between Lower Don River Trl and Don Valley Parkway S (371 m away, May 2011) recorded volume only — about 13,760 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Lake Shore Blvd E · Lower Don River Trl – Don Valley Parkway S · 371 mMay 2011 · 24 h13,760

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 2016, with 62 collisions; 2025 recorded 42. 72 collisions (15%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 55 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (0%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 28 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 28, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

None of the four serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 cyclist and 2 motorcyclists were among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. 2 of the 4 happened in darkness — 50%, about the citywide 39%. 2016 alone accounted for 2 of them. The most recent was on Aug 13, 2021. Going back to 2006, the total is 5.

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.
