Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Lake Shore Blvd W & Strachan Ave / Remembrance Dr — a 320 × 240 still the City replaces every few minutes, with the frame's age and its four fixed reference views
The City's own feed for Lake Shore & Strachan, published as a 320 × 240 still that its server replaces every few minutes — the card checks for a new frame every 45 seconds while you are on the page (Reload checks now) and says whether the frame changed. The fixed views are the City's reference stills showing where the camera points in each direction.

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, Nov 6, 2024
The west leg carries the load — 25,469 eastbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2. Most cyclists arrived from the north (666 of 1,432). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,055 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 4,121 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
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 Strachan Ave between Lake Shore Blvd W and Lakeshore W (25 m away, Apr 2010) recorded volume only — about 12,117 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strachan Ave · Lake Shore Blvd W – Lakeshore W · 25 m | Apr 2010 · 3 days | 12,117 | — | — | — |
| Lake Shore Blvd W · Lakeshore W – Strachan Ave · 66 m | May 2011 · 3 days | 14,469 | — | — | — |
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
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 5 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Oct 12, 2015.
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
Police records place no theft from a vehicle or bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025.
Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Sep 30, 2014. 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 Fort York-Liberty Village.
