Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score

Four buildings of the 77 scored below 70; the average is 87, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections. The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 93 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 41 fire-code violations are open across them.

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.

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 25, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 1,010 southbound vehicles, or 66% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 14. Most cyclists arrived from the north (492 of 843). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 173 vehicles in the hour from 3:15 p.m., 37% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (126). Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% 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 Lowther Ave between Madison Ave and Spadina Rd (351 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2005; 85% of drivers were at or under 38 km/h. That segment carries about 2,600 vehicles a day. Brunswick Ave between Joseph Burr Tyrrell Park Trl and Lowther Ave measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (May 2013). The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 14 speed humps slow traffic on Lowther Avenue between Brunswick Ave and Avenue Rd.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brunswick Ave · Joseph Burr Tyrrell Park Trl – Lowther Ave · 122 m | May 2013 · 24 h | 1,004 | 27 km/h | 34 km/h | 38 km/h |

Traffic calming
- Lowther Avenue · Brunswick Ave – Avenue Rd
14 speed humps
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.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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
Toronto Police place seven thefts from vehicles and 12 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.9 a year. 57% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 50% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jul 29, 2025. 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 Annex.
