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: 90 m away, ≈293 spaces; 95 m away, ≈120 spaces; 111 m away, ≈11 spaces; 115 m away, ≈106 spaces; 131 m away, ≈12 spaces; 136 m away, ≈9 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 — 14-hour, Jul 15, 2025
The east leg carries the load — 11,287 westbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 464. Most cyclists arrived from the west (38 of 69). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,165 vehicles in the hour from 3:45 p.m., 12% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,939). Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 14 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 Lawrence Ave E between Karl Fraser Rd and Don Mills Rd (67 m away, Nov 2011) recorded volume only — about 20,067 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on The Donway E (366 m away, 40 km/h limit), 3.7% of the 74,774 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lawrence Ave E · Karl Fraser Rd – Don Mills Rd · 67 m | Nov 2011 · 3 days | 20,067 | — | — | — |
School-zone speed sign 366 m
The Donway E (southbound), 14 the Donway E · 74,774 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
2024 was the peak year (51 collisions), and 2025 closed with 44. 5% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 132 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 41% 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, 16 more collisions have been reported, 1 of them fatal; they sit outside the ranking window.

One collision in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jan 29, 2020. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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
