Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are six RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 770 rental units. The nearest is 17 Farmstead Rd (239 m, 136 units, 19 storeys, built 1970), which scored 94 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation.

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
| Green P car park | Distance | Spaces | Peak occupancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leslie Lot - 2760 Old Leslie Street · Surface | 1.6 km | 102 * | — |
Nearest lots: 68 m away, ≈810 spaces; 104 m away, ≈102 spaces; 147 m away, ≈200 spaces; 153 m away, ≈203 spaces; 212 m away, ≈89 spaces; 215 m away, ≈128 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, Jan 22, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 15,737 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 514 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,612 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,682 from 3:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
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 Kirkwood Rd between Tullamore Dr and Leslie St, 70 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in May 2012 put the average speed at 28 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 37 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 42 km/h or more. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kirkwood Rd · Tullamore Dr – Leslie St · 70 m | May 2012 · 24 h | 651 | 28 km/h | 37 km/h | 42 km/h |
| Leslie St · York Mills Rd – Farmstead Rd · 286 m | Oct 2014 · 7 days | 20,558 | — | — | — |
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 2019, with 14 collisions; 2025 recorded 7. 7 collisions (10%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 16 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 22% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (1%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 7 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 17, 2026.
By year
Exposure-adjusted: 2.4 collisions per year per 10,000 daily vehicles, using the latest 14-hour count.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.
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
17 thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 3.0× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 2 in 2023–2025, about 0.7 a year, against 2.3 a year before that. 71% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Theft from a vehicle | 17 | 1 | 0 | street/outdoor (12), commercial premises (4) |
| Bicycle theft | 1 | 1 | 0 | commercial premises (1) |
Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Sep 16, 2023. 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 St.Andrew-Windfields.
