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, Mar 30, 2009
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 4,292 eastbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 178. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,209 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,225 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 17 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2009, 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 Lake Shore Blvd W between Colonel Sam Smith Park Trl and Sixteenth St (26 m away) recorded an average of 49 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2009; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 12,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Lake Shore Blvd W (278 m away, 50 km/h limit), 3.5% of the 179,150 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lake Shore Blvd W · Colonel Sam Smith Park Trl – Sixteenth St · 26 m | Apr 2009 · 24 h | 12,727 | 49 km/h | 57 km/h | 62 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 278 m
Lake Shore Blvd W (eastbound), 3182 Lake Shore Boulevard West · 179,150 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.

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 four thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on May 6, 2026.
By year

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through May 6, 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 New Toronto.
