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.

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, Nov 24, 2003
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 6,455 eastbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 462. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,235 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 20% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,864). Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 23 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2003, 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 Gerrard St E between Pickering St and Lane W of Dengate and N of Gerrard (29 m away) recorded an average of 47 km/h in its 24-hour count in May 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 17,700 vehicles a day. Pickering St between Lyall Ave and Swanwick Ave measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (May 2010). 6 speed humps slow traffic on Pickering Street between Gerrard St E and Kingston Rd.

Traffic calming
- Pickering Street · Gerrard St E – Kingston Rd
6 speed humps
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.

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.
Thefts reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
Toronto Police place eight thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 63% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
