Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Lake Shore Blvd E & Leslie St — a 320 × 240 still the City replaces every few minutes, with the frame's age and its four fixed reference views
The City's own feed for Leslie & Lake Shore (North), published as a 320 × 240 still that its server replaces every few minutes — the card checks for a new frame every 45 seconds while you are on the page (Reload checks now) and says whether the frame changed. The fixed views are the City's reference stills showing where the camera points in each direction.

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.

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, Feb 26, 2026
The west leg carries the load — 11,704 eastbound vehicles, or 37% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 4,863. Most cyclists arrived from the north (49 of 119). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,085 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 28% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,412). Trucks and buses were 6.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
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 Lake Shore Blvd E between Leslie St and Lake Shore Blvd East Trl (Id: 30002744) (10 m away, Mar 2014) recorded volume only — about 16,036 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lake Shore Blvd E · Leslie St – Lake Shore Blvd East Trl (Id: 30002744) · 10 m | Mar 2014 · 3 days | 16,036 | — | — | — |
| Leslie St · Lake Shore Blvd East Trl – Mosley St · 82 m | Apr 2013 · 3 days | 15,423 | — | — | — |
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
2019 was the peak year (78 collisions), and 2025 closed with 63. 13% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 88 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%.

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 three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 2 cyclists were among those hurt. All happened in daylight or lit conditions (citywide, 39% of KSI collisions occur in darkness). The most recent was on Jul 29, 2023. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 3 | #139 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 1 | #625 of 879 |
| Involving a cyclist | 2 | #10 of 271 |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | 0% here vs 39% citywide |
| All KSI since 2006 | 4 | latest Jul 29, 2023 |
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

Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on May 20, 2026.
