Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Two registered apartment buildings with 71 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner — well below the median of 23. The nearest is 3171 Kingston Rd (598 m, 18 units, 4 storeys, built 1960), which scored 92 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation.

| 3207 Kingston Rd · Trivest Developments Corporation | 53 | 5 | 1968 | 90 · Aug 2025 | 1 | 653 m |
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: 395 m away, ≈52 spaces; 402 m away, ≈81 spaces; 419 m away, ≈108 spaces; 471 m away, ≈4 spaces; 474 m away, ≈20 spaces; 481 m away, ≈2 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, Feb 7, 2024
The south leg carries the load — 3,290 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 60. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 776 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 733 from 2:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 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 McCowan Rd between Halbert Pl and Horfield Ave (324 m away) recorded an average of 58 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 67 km/h. That segment carries about 4,300 vehicles a day. Cree Ave between Lowell Ave and Rockwood Dr measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Jun 2015). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on McCowan Rd (326 m away, 50 km/h limit), 4.3% of the 43,998 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cree Ave · Lowell Ave – Rockwood Dr · 297 m | Jun 2015 · 24 h | 345 | 40 km/h | 48 km/h | 53 km/h |
| McCowan Rd · Halbert Pl – Horfield Ave · 324 m | May 2019 · 3 days | 4,251 | 58 km/h | 67 km/h | 73 km/h |

McCowan Rd (southbound), West Side of McCowan Rd, Fronting No.38/40 · 43,998 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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 six thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 50% of the vehicle thefts were from house driveways and garages.
By year

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Oct 25, 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 Cliffcrest.
