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: 63 m away, ≈44 spaces; 65 m away, ≈228 spaces; 94 m away, ≈129 spaces; 120 m away, ≈165 spaces; 171 m away, ≈106 spaces; 173 m away, ≈31 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, Oct 19, 2024 (a weekend day)
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 11,284 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 40% of the total, against 2,607 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,633 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 1,789 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 23 months 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
On Eglinton Ave E between Oswego Rd and Barbados Blvd, 361 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in July 2008 put the average speed at 62 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 69 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 74 km/h or more. That segment carries about 29,700 vehicles a day. McCowan Rd between Blue Lagoon Crt and Fred Bland Cres measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Oct 2019). The reading is 18 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eglinton Ave E · Oswego Rd – Barbados Blvd · 361 m | Jul 2008 · 24 h | 29,666 | 62 km/h | 69 km/h | 74 km/h |
| McCowan Rd · Blue Lagoon Crt – Fred Bland Cres · 396 m | Oct 2019 · 3 days | 1,263 | 38 km/h | 47 km/h | 53 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

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 21, 2021. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

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.
