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: 64 m away, ≈162 spaces; 140 m away, ≈762 spaces; 141 m away, ≈1,097 spaces; 154 m away, ≈264 spaces; 172 m away, ≈92 spaces; 211 m away, ≈134 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, Mar 26, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 12,938 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 30% of the total, against 8,321 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 3,882 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:30 p.m., against 3,521 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years 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
On Lawrence Ave E between Greencedar Crct and Markham Rd, 325 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2024 put the average speed at 51 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 60 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 67 km/h or more. That segment carries about 28,700 vehicles a day. Markham Rd between Eastpark Blvd and Greencrest Crct measured slower: 44 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 54 km/h (May 2026).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lawrence Ave E · Greencedar Crct – Markham Rd · 325 m | Oct 2024 · 3 days | 28,699 | 51 km/h | 60 km/h | 67 km/h |
| Markham Rd · Eastpark Blvd – Greencrest Crct · 349 m | May 2026 · 3 days | 23,785 | 44 km/h | 54 km/h | 59 km/h |
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 2018, with 104 collisions; 2025 recorded 93. 139 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 113 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 31 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 41 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 28, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
None of the four serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 2 pedestrians, 1 cyclist and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt. 1 of the 4 happened in darkness — 25%, below the citywide 39%. 2025 alone accounted for 2 of them. The last one inside the window was in 2025. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here, the latest on May 1, 2026. Going back to 2006, the total is 7.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 4 | #43 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 2 | #140 of 879 |
| Involving a cyclist | 1 | #192 of 271 |

| Since January 2026 (outside the window) | 1 | latest May 1, 2026 |
| All KSI since 2006 | 7 | latest May 1, 2026 |
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
21 thefts from vehicles and two bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 3.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Mar 24, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Mar 24, 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.
