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 — 14-hour, Dec 16, 2023 (a weekend day)

The south leg carries the load — 6,463 northbound vehicles, or 32% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 3,373. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,138 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 77% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,772). Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Kipling Ave between Dundas St W and Bloor St W (137 m away, Sep 2014) recorded volume only — about 15,005 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Kipling Ave · Dundas St W – Bloor St W · 137 mSep 2014 · 3 days15,005
Dundas St W · Bloor St W – Summerland Ter · 328 mJan 2016 · 7 days8,197

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.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.
