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.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Jun 3, 2014

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 6,268 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 327. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,332 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (2,066). Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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 Milady Rd between Grenadine Crt and Firenza Dr (370 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Islington Ave · Islington Park Trl – Rowntree Mill Rd · 166 mDec 2011 · 3 days23,129
Milady Rd · Grenadine Crt – Firenza Dr · 370 mNov 2021 · 24 h46140 km/h49 km/h54 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.

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. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on May 9, 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 three thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.
