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 | 141 m | 23 | 20% (Q1 2026) |
Nearest lots: 41 m away, ≈19 spaces; 71 m away, ≈37 spaces; 104 m away, ≈65 spaces; 121 m away, ≈185 spaces (Green P); 128 m away, ≈87 spaces; 138 m away, ≈7 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, Oct 7, 2025
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 10,242 southbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 371. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,996 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 34% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (1,495). Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
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 Wardlaw Cres between Islington Ave and Barkwin Dr (112 m away) recorded an average of 29 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 35 km/h. That segment carries about 800 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wardlaw Cres · Islington Ave – Barkwin Dr · 112 m | Nov 2025 · 3 days | 773 | 29 km/h | 35 km/h | 39 km/h |
| Islington Ave · Albion Rd – Islington S · 220 m | Oct 2014 · 7 days | 16,395 | — | — | — |
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

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 five thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 60% of the vehicle thefts were from house driveways and garages.
