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: 80 m away, ≈5 spaces; 106 m away, ≈84 spaces; 110 m away, ≈215 spaces; 114 m away, ≈68 spaces; 125 m away, ≈83 spaces; 129 m away, ≈94 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, Feb 28, 2023
The east leg carries the load — 6,746 westbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 370. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,115 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,208 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.3% 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; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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 Brahms Ave between Rameau Dr and Gideon Crt (353 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 24-hour count in February 2012; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 1,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Seneca Hill Dr (276 m away, 30 km/h limit), 43% of the 33,974 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

Seneca Hill Dr (westbound), 312 Seneca Hill Drive · 33,974 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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
2023 was the peak year (18 collisions), and 2025 closed with 8. 22% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 13 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

The most recent report on file is from Jun 9, 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
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Sep 17, 2014.
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 reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Toronto Police place 17 thefts from vehicles and three bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 2.0 a year. 71% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 28, 2026.
By year

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 17 | 6 | 1 | street/outdoor (12), apartment parking (5) |
| Bicycle theft | 3 | 0 | 0 | street/outdoor (2), house driveway/garage (1) |
Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jun 28, 2026. Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Don Valley Village.
