Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are 26 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 3,518 rental units — 15 social or Toronto Community Housing.

The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 117 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 21 fire-code violations are open across them.

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.
Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking
Nearest lots: 48 m away, ≈16 spaces; 59 m away, ≈16 spaces; 78 m away, ≈185 spaces; 96 m away, ≈96 spaces; 115 m away, ≈27 spaces; 126 m away, ≈69 spaces.
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, May 23, 2018
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 6,263 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 147 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,945 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,835 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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
On Lawrence Ave E between Andover Cres and 4140 Lawrence Ave E, 135 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2024 put the average speed at 54 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 62 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 67 km/h or more. That segment carries about 27,300 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Galloway Rd (217 m away, 30 km/h limit), 28% of the 11,951 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lawrence Ave E · Andover Cres – 4140 Lawrence Ave E · 135 m | Nov 2024 · 3 days | 27,259 | 54 km/h | 62 km/h | 67 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 217 m
Galloway Rd (southbound), 228 Galloway Rd · 11,951 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 worst year was 2024, with 6 collisions; 2025 recorded 1. 4 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 26% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (9%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jun 12, 2018.
By year

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.
