Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Eight registered apartment buildings with 1,031 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner — well below the median of 23.

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: 92 m away, ≈75 spaces; 93 m away, ≈39 spaces; 98 m away, ≈109 spaces; 115 m away, ≈111 spaces; 135 m away, ≈88 spaces; 137 m away, ≈45 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, Aug 19, 2026
The south leg carries the load — 6,310 northbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,066. Most cyclists arrived from the south (58 of 132). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,649 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 90% above the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. (868). 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 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 counter on Martin Grove Rd between Lexington Ave and Smithfield Park Trl (135 m away) recorded an average of 51 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 59 km/h. That segment carries about 13,000 vehicles a day. Lexington Ave between Tealham Dr and Rathlyn Crt measured slower: 41 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Nov 2021). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Martin Grove Rd · Lexington Ave – Smithfield Park Trl · 135 m | May 2022 · 3 days | 12,997 | 51 km/h | 59 km/h | 65 km/h |
| Lexington Ave · Tealham Dr – Rathlyn Crt · 147 m | Nov 2021 · 24 h | 2,312 | 41 km/h | 49 km/h | 54 km/h |
| Garfella Dr · Bulbourne Rd – Stevenson Rd · 223 m | Dec 2021 · 24 h | 3,548 | 40 km/h | 47 km/h | 52 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
2022 was the peak year (12 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 25% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

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 Apr 18, 2022. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.

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

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through May 5, 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.
