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.

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 — 8-hour, Jul 21, 2015
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 4,286 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 223 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,211 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,282 from 2:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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 Kennedy Rd between Corvette Ave and Merrian Rd (0 m away, Apr 2013) recorded volume only — about 9,343 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Corvette Ave (297 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 30,658 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |

Corvette Ave (eastbound), S Side Corvette Ave Flank of 119 Cleta Dr · 30,658 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 15 collisions. 16 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 20 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 24% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 10 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (12%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 10, 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
None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian, 1 cyclist and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt. All of them happened in darkness (citywide, 39% of KSI collisions do). The most recent was on Aug 7, 2022. Going back to 2006, the total is 5.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 3 | #135 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 1 | #593 of 879 |

| Involving a motorcyclist | 1 | |
| In darkness | 3 | 100% here vs 39% citywide |
| All KSI since 2006 | 5 | latest Aug 7, 2022 |
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.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Mar 13, 2026. 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.
