Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Lake Shore Blvd E & Emdaabiimok Ave / Ashbridges Bay Park Rd — a 320 × 240 still the City replaces every few minutes, with the frame's age and its four fixed reference views
The City's own feed for Emdaabiimok & Lake Shore, published as a 320 × 240 still that its server replaces every few minutes — the card checks for a new frame every 45 seconds while you are on the page (Reload checks now) and says whether the frame changed. The fixed views are the City's reference stills showing where the camera points in each direction.

Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport. Condominiums and houses are not registered.

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, Nov 18, 2023 (a weekend day)
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 5,622 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 565 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,792 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,138 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 3 years 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 most recent midblock count on Emdaabiimok Ave between Lake Shore Blvd E and Lake Shore Blvd East Trl (5 m away, Mar 2014) recorded volume only — about 11,178 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Emdaabiimok Ave · Lake Shore Blvd E – Lake Shore Blvd East Trl · 5 m | Mar 2014 · 3 days | 11,178 | — | — | — |
| Ashbridges Bay Park Rd · Lake Shore Blvd E – Martin Goodman Trl · 108 m | Dec 2011 · 3 days | 2,634 | — | — | — |
| Lake Shore Blvd E · Emdaabiimok Ave – Northern Dancer Blvd · 213 m | Apr 2013 · 3 days | 25,763 | — | — | — |
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

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 2 motorcyclists were among those hurt. The most recent was on Jul 30, 2023.

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.

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
