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: 161 m away, ≈1,209 spaces; 175 m away, ≈98 spaces; 208 m away, ≈26 spaces; 235 m away, ≈46 spaces; 248 m away, ≈37 spaces; 276 m away, ≈76 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, Apr 23, 2025
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 3,465 southbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 974. Most cyclists arrived from the north (46 of 92). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 701 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 748 from 3:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 17 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 Topcliff Ave between Demaris Ave and Yellowstone St (219 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. Driftwood Ave between Yewtree Blvd and Topcliff Ave measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Mar 2011). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Topcliff Ave (124 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 14,563 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Topcliff Ave (eastbound), 113 Topcliff Avenue · 14,563 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.

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

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.
