Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
23 registered apartment buildings with 1,199 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, two of them social or Toronto Community Housing.

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
| Green P car park | Distance | Spaces | Peak occupancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14 Barkwin Dr · Surface | 1.8 km | 23 | 20% (Q1 2026) |
Nearest lots: 61 m away, ≈265 spaces; 79 m away, ≈56 spaces; 90 m away, ≈56 spaces; 166 m away, ≈41 spaces; 205 m away, ≈85 spaces; 269 m away, ≈37 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, Dec 5, 2023
The south leg carries the load — 5,658 northbound vehicles, or 35% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,655. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,454 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 12% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (2,195). Heavy vehicles made up 4.6% 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 Elmhurst Dr between Turpin Ave and Urban Crt (258 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 7,600 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Islington Ave · Golfdown Dr – Elmhurst Dr · 54 m | Dec 2011 · 3 days | 12,457 | — | — | — |
| Elmhurst Dr · Turpin Ave – Urban Crt · 258 m | Apr 2025 · 3 days | 7,628 | 40 km/h | 45 km/h | 50 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 (23 collisions), and 2025 closed with 16. 19% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 18 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 1% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 28, 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 Apr 13, 2012.
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 four thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.
By year

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jan 24, 2023. 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.
