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: 83 m away, ≈44 spaces; 99 m away, ≈87 spaces; 105 m away, ≈124 spaces; 132 m away, ≈11 spaces; 133 m away, ≈654 spaces; 153 m away, ≈24 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, Oct 22, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 8,336 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 33% of the total, against 4,997 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,388 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 2,199 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 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
On Morningside Ave between Ling Rd and Lawrence Ave E, 104 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2019 put the average speed at 49 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 64 km/h or more. That segment carries about 12,700 vehicles a day. Lawrence Ave E between Florist Lane and Morningside Ave measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 51 km/h (Oct 2023). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Morningside Ave (316 m away, 50 km/h limit), 1.4% of the 124,446 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.

| Lawrence Ave E · Florist Lane – Morningside Ave · 90 m | Oct 2023 · 3 days | 19,255 | 40 km/h | 51 km/h | 56 km/h |

Morningside Ave (northbound), 206 Morningside Avenue · 124,446 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 2018, with 40 collisions; 2025 recorded 22. 54 collisions (21%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 37 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 23 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (9%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 15 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 17, 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
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 2 pedestrians were among those hurt. The most recent was on Jan 18, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 5.
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.

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
