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: 50 m away, ≈57 spaces; 63 m away, ≈66 spaces; 137 m away, ≈3 spaces; 155 m away, ≈1,279 spaces; 156 m away, ≈180 spaces; 163 m away, ≈234 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 — 14-hour, Nov 22, 2023
Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 6,652 vehicles entering from the east to 7,792 from the north. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,530 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 8% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (4,191). 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 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 counter on Islington Ave between Humber Creek Trl and Dixon Rd (111 m away) recorded an average of 51 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 62 km/h. That segment carries about 24,300 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dixon Rd · Maplebranch Path – Islington Ave · 67 m | Sep 2017 · 24 h | 13,685 | — | — | — |
| Islington Ave · Humber Creek Trl – Dixon Rd · 111 m | May 2025 · 3 days | 24,257 | 51 km/h | 62 km/h | 68 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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
2019 was the peak year (75 collisions), and 2025 closed with 44. 18% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 67 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

The most recent report on file is from Jun 24, 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
Of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 2 pedestrians were among those hurt. One of the two happened in darkness. The last one inside the window was in 2019. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 2 serious-injury collisions have been recorded here — one fatal (1 pedestrian involved), the latest on May 12, 2026. Going back to 2006, the total is 11.

| All KSI since 2006 | 11 | latest May 12, 2026 |
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
