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
| Green P car park | Distance | Spaces | Peak occupancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Downsview Lot - 415 William R Allen Rd · Surface | 1.7 km | 632 * | — |
Nearest lots: 145 m away, ≈20 spaces; 155 m away, ≈172 spaces; 178 m away, ≈43 spaces; 231 m away, ≈27 spaces; 259 m away, ≈17 spaces; 296 m away, ≈101 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, Sep 13, 2022
The north leg carries the load — 211 southbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 95 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (87). Trucks and buses were 5.5% 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 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 counter on Kennard Ave between Wilmington Ave and Shaftesbury St (290 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 24-hour count in May 2013; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 1,600 vehicles a day. Elder St between Kennard Ave and Pannahill Rd measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Apr 2024). The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elder St · Kennard Ave – Pannahill Rd · 46 m | Apr 2024 · 3 days | 748 | 38 km/h | 47 km/h | 53 km/h |
| Kennard Ave · Wilmington Ave – Shaftesbury St · 290 m | May 2013 · 24 h | 1,556 | 41 km/h | 49 km/h | 54 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.

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
Toronto Police recorded no collisions of any severity within 65 m of this intersection in 2016–2025.

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.
