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: 88 m away, ≈97 spaces; 116 m away, ≈212 spaces; 138 m away, ≈19 spaces; 141 m away, ≈1,755 spaces; 160 m away, ≈184 spaces; 161 m away, ≈17 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, Jul 3, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 15,660 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 35% of the total, against 5,914 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 3,972 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 3,247 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 14 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 Morningside Ave between Ling Rd and Lawrence Ave E, 354 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2019 put the average speed at 49 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 64 km/h or more. That segment carries about 12,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kingston Rd · Morningside Ave – Collinsgrove Rd · 133 m | Sep 2013 · 3 days | 22,435 | — | — | — |
| Morningside Ave · Ling Rd – Lawrence Ave E · 354 m | Mar 2019 · 3 days | 12,750 | 49 km/h | 59 km/h | 64 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
The worst year was 2016, with 103 collisions; 2025 recorded 74. 117 collisions (15%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 145 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 30 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 41 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 28, 2026.
By year
Exposure-adjusted: 18.0 collisions per year per 10,000 daily vehicles, using the latest 14-hour count.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. Both happened in darkness. The most recent was on Sep 26, 2022. Going back to 2006, the total is 5. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 2 | #370 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 1 | #613 of 879 |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 2 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 5 | latest Sep 26, 2022 |
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.
