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, Jun 20, 2011
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 3,292 eastbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 285. Most cyclists arrived from the west (671 of 1,262). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 955 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 930 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 8.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 15 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2011, 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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
2017 was the peak year (13 collisions), and 2025 closed with 10. 8% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 17 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 29% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 3 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. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Aug 5, 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 29 thefts from vehicles and nine bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 6.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 16 in 2023–2025, about 5.3 a year, against 3.1 a year before that. 66% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 33% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 4 more have been reported, the latest on Apr 26, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Apr 26, 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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Wellington Place.
