Park washrooms, washrooms in City buildings and automated street toilets, with hours and status as the City publishes them (park washrooms are seasonal). Malls, shops and TTC stations are not included.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are five RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 769 rental units — two social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 51-67 Waterford Dr (594 m, 29 units, 8 storeys, built 1962), which scored 95 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 97, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 3 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 1 fire-code violation is open across them.

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: 222 m away, ≈78 spaces; 429 m away, ≈3 spaces; 457 m away, ≈53 spaces; 507 m away, ≈3 spaces; 553 m away, ≈52 spaces; 558 m away, ≈67 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, Oct 29, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 16,727 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 55% of the total, against 509 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (53 of 55). Evening rush dominates here: 2,694 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 2,451 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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
On Russell Rd between Eglinton Ave W and Maidacroft Pl, 51 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in June 2022 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Russell Rd · Eglinton Ave W – Maidacroft Pl · 51 m | Jun 2022 · 24 h | 1,914 | 38 km/h | 45 km/h | 50 km/h |
| Eglinton Ave W · Russell Rd – Islington Ave · 259 m | Sep 2019 · 7 days | 39,022 | — | — | — |
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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 8 collisions. 13 collisions (28%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.
