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.

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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Dec 12, 2019

The north leg carries the load — 6,454 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 141. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,425 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 32% above the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. (1,832). Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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 most recent midblock count on Islington Ave between Humber River Recreational Trl and Aviemore Dr (32 m away, Oct 2014) recorded volume only — about 12,217 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Islington Ave · Humber River Recreational Trl – Aviemore Dr · 32 mOct 2014 · 7 days12,217

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.
