Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Eight registered apartment buildings with 333 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing — well below the median of 22.

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: 60 m away, ≈53 spaces; 87 m away, ≈23 spaces; 135 m away, ≈484 spaces; 140 m away, ≈17 spaces; 268 m away, ≈203 spaces; 379 m away, ≈42 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, Jun 18, 2024
The north leg carries the load — 15,675 southbound vehicles, or 32% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 8,250. Morning rush is the busier period: 5,005 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 4,444 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 2 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
The City's counter on Leslie St between Overland Dr and Edwards Gardens Trl (332 m away) recorded an average of 47 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 55 km/h. That segment carries about 25,200 vehicles a day.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lawrence Ave E · Banbury Rd – Leslie St · 50 m | Nov 2011 · 3 days | 7,724 | — | — | — |
| Leslie St · Overland Dr – Edwards Gardens Trl · 332 m | Apr 2025 · 3 days | 25,216 | 47 km/h | 55 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
2018 was the peak year (42 collisions), and 2025 closed with 19. 17% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 13 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 5% of collisions, below 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
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Oct 27, 2016. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.
